official SC Democratic results thread

[NHPolitico]

I just did that about a half hour ago going off the numbers posted on CNN's website... if they changed it I have no idea.

I recall clearly on FNC the Fox people saying Hillary had a narrow lead in the exit polls, which was why they said it wasn't that odd how things turned out.

[NHPolitico]

the talking heads on MSNBC are talking about what else.......race and Bill Clinton.

I still cant stand Pat Buchannan....hes annoys the sh**t out of me.

He's been a steady defender of the Clintons during the campaign for SC. He's better than most Democrats at defending Bill.

Obama won young white voters, and college students, and blacks, and did very well among whites. Its a landslide yup yup

So, Obama will win the nomination in 2024 when these voters make up more of the actual voting population.

Russert said Obama could be looking at a 25+ point margin tonight over Hillary.

[NHPolitico]

Actually Obama will be in the mid 50s....that'll be enough to make him the new frontrunner.

I'll believe it when I see it.  She has such a huge advantage right now going into 2/5.

I love how big a spin everyone has on this. The Democratic Primary has become a white vs black race. I saw the exit poll results on MSNBC, and only 16% of 60+ white voters went for Obama.

So... the old racist whites voted against the Negro. Big surprise.

Obama won among young whites, who no longer decide things by race, as the Clinton campaign would have us.

It will be interesting to see whether some younger generation Democrats in the House and elsewhere will come out for Obama soon now that he has become the candidate of young people.

Caroline Kennedy's op-ed in the NYT endorsing Obama is called, "A President like my father."

That is a moving phrase among Democrats. And it's guaranteed to make Bill wipe his ass with tomorrow's NYT.

Michelle Obama looks so much like Condi Rice.

She's like 5'11 or so. Obama is like 6'1 or so. Their girls will be giants.

[NHPolitico]

Look at the crowd behind Obama: With one or two exception, it's all white

It's nice to see because it means that Obama has some skilled managers on his team. That sort of chess move thinking shows up in other things.

[NHPolitico]

"I didnt come to this state and see a white South Carolina, or a black South Carolina...I saw SOUTH CAROLINA."

His version of I have a dream.

[NHPolitico]

Obama can sure give a speech. Whoa, boy.

Caroline Kennedy's endorsement, to be published tomorrow:

Here's what I know. I know that when people say we can't overcome all the big money and influence in Washington, I think of that elderly woman who sent me a contribution the other day, an envelope that had a money order for three dollars and one cent along with a verse of scripture tucked inside the envelope. So don't tell us change isn't possible. That woman knows change is possible.

Here's a random thought from the South Carolina CNN exit poll: 4% of people who said that Obama is the most qualified to be Commander-in-Chief voted for Clinton.

Pretty well the only complaint I've heard leveled against Obama in favor of Clinton is that he isn't qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.  So what person would respond that he's the most qualified and then vote for Clinton?

I'm honestly wondering; this isn't meant as a snarky jab.

Well, they could be more conservative than Obama and feel Hillary is more in line with their views or any of the other reasons people choose Hillary over Obama or Edwards over Obama.
