Obama Slams Hillary in SC by over 25 points?

Will Obama beat out Hillary for the nomination? Do you think the racist attacks by the Clinton’s hurt them in SC

TH-Obama won 81 percent of African-American votes. He did not win the majority of the white vote, but it was nearly a 3-way split. It would be interesting to know if some of this was actually a backlash against Bill Clinton’s attacks. Also interesting will be to see if this trend continues into other states, to this degree. Remember, Bill said he was going to come to South Carolina and go door-to-door and church-to-church in the Black community …

Age was also important. 49 percent of folks under 30 years of age voted for him. He and Edwards did well among college-educated adults.

Obama did horrible among whites who are not college-educated.

    Is the right right on the Clintons?

    LATIMES-Something strange happened the other day. All these different people — friends, co-workers, relatives, people on a liberal e-mail list I read — kept saying the same thing: They’ve suddenly developed a disdain for Bill and Hillary Clinton. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but I think we’ve reached an irrevocable turning point in liberal opinion of the Clintons.

    The sentiment seems to be concentrated among Barack Obama supporters. Going into the campaign, most of us liked Hillary Clinton just fine, but the fact that tens of millions of Americans are seized with irrational loathing for her suggested that she might not be a good Democratic nominee. But now that loathing seems a lot less irrational. We’re not frothing Clinton haters like … well, name pretty much any conservative. We just really wish they’d go away.

    Obama wins crushing victory in S.C.

    Politico-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama scored an overwhelming victory in the South Carolina primary Saturday, giving his historic campaign new momentum as the delegate-rich Super Tuesday states loom on Feb. 5.

    New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was second in early returns, followed by former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards — a South Carolina native — in third.

    Very interesting. If the momentum holds in Florida. Look out Hillary.

    Analysis: Big Obama win could spell trouble for Clinton

    THEHILL-Exit polls, voting patterns and early returns in South Carolina’s Democratic primary not only show that Sen. Barack Obama is winning the state in a landslide, but the results could also spell trouble for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) as the race moves toward the crucial Feb. 5 contests.

    The South Carolina results, which mirror those of the Michigan primary among black voters, indicate that Clinton is running with a detrimental among that core Democratic constituency. African-American voters were believed to be a strength for the wife of a president once referred to by the poet Toni Morrison as “the first black president.”

    What was clear, despite the candidates’ efforts to downplay it, is that race was very much a factor in the Saturday night vote.

    This very well could be the playing out of part of the master strategy to bring down the United States. The Democrats are basically a lost cause, but they comprise 50% of the electorate, so we are told. The two highest profile candidates for the Democrats are a woman and a black – so if either wins, it’s a step toward the objective of our controllers (down with Whites, down with those who understand our founding). And if I were a Democrat (which I’m not!) my only choice would be Edwards, also a mass third world immigration enthusiast, so I would cast a “write-in” or skip the election. Wow, no choice, hence the exodus of white males from the Democrat party. White females are a strange group, often not voting on issues but more on “feelings”. They really shouldn’t vote unless they can demonstrate proficiency in understanding the issues, etc.
    And of course the media is in cahoots with all this so they sway toward one of the “approved” candidates, certainly not Dr. Ron Paul. The whole establishment is arrayed against the citizens. But on a positive note, if we wake up and enjoin the traitors, we will win- many, many more of us than them!

    John, I have a comment in “moderation”. What’s wrong now? I didn’t use the “sc_m” word.

    Mr Konop,

    Do you think the racist attacks by the Clinton’s hurt them in SC?

    Do you really think the Clintons — and not the news media — were being racist?
