Clinton will need a similarly high turnout by black voters to win. To win the presidency this fall, Clinton must inherit, energize, expand and mobilize the Obama coalition, a unique potent alliance that represents a key part of the President's legacy -- and Clinton's best hope for victory in November. "Tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me," Obama told the crowd of 20,000 at the Wells Fargo Center. Without these states' 112 electoral votes, Obama would have lost decisively. Behind the soaring oratory was a plea to Obama's core supporters -- the black, Latino, college-educated, women and independent voters that put him in the White House -- to transfer their loyalty to Clinton.
