(CNN) – An interesting dynamic is at play in California: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a tight race, even though Obama is beating Clinton there among both white voters and black voters.
According to our exit polls, Obama is beating Clinton among whites, 49 percent to 43 percent, and among blacks, 81 percent to 16 percent.
How is Clinton in contention? She's overwhelmingly winning among Latinos and Asians. Two-thirds of California Latinos prefer Clinton, while three-fourths of the state’s Asians support her.
Latinos and Asians just may carry the state for her.

Just watching Msnbc and Cnn. the Bias against Clinton is just incredible. have never seen anything like it.
democrats can nominate Hillary if they want to lose white house to GOP again.
Did Obama really won super tuesday primaries?
Can we really say Obama is a winner based on super tuesday results. Most of the states Obama won are typical red states in general election. How can we expect him to get nomination based on these results and "hope" to win the general election. Clinton clearly won the democratic base and deserves to get the democratic nomination in 2008.Let's hope all democrats realize this when they go to DNC.
I am asian and I am for Obama. i love Hillary too but I want change from political establishment, tired of conventional macho style and want america to be the GREATEST again in a humble way. I want america to lead the world in every walk of life and we need change for that. We need Obama.
HILLARY 08
The big news is that Obama didn't win everything. The way the news organizations call it, you'd think that Barack was the second coming. We're lucky we have two great candidates.
Look at the Democrats infight over RACE. I love it.
The party of diiihhhversiiity and tooohlerahhhnce ISN'T, and NEVER was. Let the TRUE colors of their BIGOTRY be displayed for ALL to see!
It's amazing how many HIllary campaign ads I saw on TV here , not to mention radio ads. I honestly heard 1 ad for Obama, and some of my friends got some voicemails on their cell phones saying to vote for him. That's just tacky, Go Hillary!!! your campaigning efforts are obviously paying off in California!!
Am I the only "young" person who realizes that Obama won't actually bring any of the so-called "changes" to fruition? Nothing will ever deviate much from the status quo, short of a cataclysmic event (i.e., the Great Depression), so we might as well vote for someone who actually has experience instead of empty promises.
If you educated half the people who vote for Hillary that they are NOT voting for Bill Clinton....watch her numbers fall. Obama wins easily.
11 states for Obama, but I still got to stomach Hillary in California. It is what it is.
Why can't CNN say in the headline:
"Clinton winning among Latinos and Asians in California " instead of posting a negative headline?
It is so obvious how CNN is biased about this campaign, really!
Oh, by the way moderator, make sure you post my comments!
Yo, Schneider, your report's terribly off. Exit polls do not have any real scientific value. The numbers she's putting up in California suggest she might be doing much better among whites and even blacks than your exit polls would suggest.
Come on, you claim yourself the BEST political team................
Can you read numbers? She DID NOT LOSE!
Absolutely! Hillary supporters know that we can't be told what to vote for, we decide for ourselves! Keep reporting your false views CNN, but we hold our own!
Go Hillary!
Why doesn't CNN's main title say " Latinos and Asians for Clinton" instead? In fact the biggest lack of coverage in California (and else where) is the almost non-existent support for Obama among Asian Americans like me.
Considering media has been against Hillary, California is a HUGE WIN for our soon-to-be Madam President!!! Yayyyyyyyy!!!!
Obama's race should have nothing to do with the outcome of the election. He will not be able to lead this great nation back to the proper place in the international community. He is an excellent speaker but the President needs more than oratorical skiils to run this country. We are in a bad enough condition without electing a president with no experience in the areas that really matter.
Change Washington? He could not even carry the kennedy state – how's he going to function in DC – he's toast there.
Hillary is a TRUE inspiration. She fought against all odds, all of the media, the prejudice. This just proves to me she is the smartest and the best. CNN, you're are the loosers and everyone sees it. This election is going to turn people against you.
CNN is doing itself no favours with this kind of headline. Hillary Clinton could get 99% of the vote and CNN would lead with "Obama unanimous choice of last 1% of voters".
I agree about the media bias. As for the Asians and the Latinos, it's simple. They were forgotten because of Oprah making this all about race. I blame Oprah for all of this stuff. And listen to Obama taking cheap shots and lying right now about not taking money from lobbyists. Obama is such a phony. I'm sorry but he is lying through his teeth right now during this speech.
Go Hillary. CNN is extremely biased when it comes to the bright, articulate, experienced Senator from New York. The reporting is very disappointing. Sexism is alive and well at all levels of this news organization.
I notice that Obama reads all of his speeches… doesn’t this mean that whatever he says is not coming from his heart but from what has been prepared a long time ago… way to be inspirational senator… Tells us more specifics about your programs and don’t talk so much about change and looking forward and not looking backwards… didn’t George Bush said the same thing… Look where we are now… we need more specifics senator!!!
Well, this Asian supported Obama. I can't believe the stupidity of my fellow Asians.
