    Analysis

    [edit]

    With a coalition of African Americans and college-educated, affluent Caucasian progressive/liberal professionals, Delaware was a state Hillary Clinton was expected to win in the so-called "Acela Primaries" on April 26. Clinton swept all three counties in the state and the largest cities of Wilmington and Dover, winning the primary by 19 points. This marked a clear difference from 2008, when she had lost Delaware to Barack Obama.
