(CNN) — If Sen. Hillary Clinton carries California, she can thank Latino and Asian voters for her victory.
Early exit polls indicated that Sen. Barack Obama was carrying the white voter in California because of his overwhelming support among white men. White women, as in other states, more often were backing Clinton.
Black voters overwhelmingly favor Obama but Asian voters, whose numbers are comparable to blacks in the most populous state, went overwhelmingly for Clinton.
The deciding factor may be Latinos, who make up roughly 30 percent of California’s Democratic vote. They were going for Clinton by a two-to-one margin.
