SC is not an accurate reading of America. Too many voters in SC were Black.

This is a very interesting primary campaign.

The traditional coalitions in both parties are disintegrating, without new coalitions forming to replace them.

“If Hillary gets the nomination, will there be enough Hispanics voting for her to cancel out all the blacks she and bubba pissed off?”

I truly believe that a large percentage of them will stay home in protest, or even vote GOP (if McCain wins the GOP nomination). I don’t prefer McCain, but I’d love to see Hillary lose the election, being thought of as a racist by her own party.

Also, the Hispanics would vote heavily for McCain, too. I say this as a Fredhead.

“SC is not an accurate reading of America. Too many voters in SC were Black.”

That is true in a sense, but there are many states with a large black vote where they could destroy her in the general election.

She was the only democrat on the ticket in Michigan, and still over 40% of the voters were uncommitted. Consider how many more blacks would have come out if Obama had been on the ballot.

It is becoming very apparent to the blacks that Hillary is getting favoritism. They have to be angry that there was only one name on that ballot, and it was not the black man. This will be remembered in November. Oh yeah, the democrats are the racist party. Spread the news. This is what they have said of the GOP for many years, and it's coming back to haunt them.

I actually see a bit of a silver lining in these figures. Obama is mounting a campaign more positive than the others and based on a hope for change. We can argue whether or not it is valid, but that is another thread. Hillary and especially Edwards are trying to appeal to those who like government dependence and not much hope. There is definitely something to do with color here, but it may be more than that too.

Obama just finished his speech...

I'm sure that it was a beautiful speech that brought a lump to the throat.

Did he actually say anything?

Yes. Obama said that GW Bush had outlawed belief and if we elect Obama he will let us believe again.

So, South Carolina’s blacks went 80% for Obama - the black candidate, and this was unexpected?

The remaining 20% of South Carolina’s black’s votes were spread out to Hillary, Edwards and the remaining bottom feeders....

Sort of makes the Clinton’s claim that Obama is the black’s candidate a statement of fact — doesn’t it?

Actually, it’s the Vast Black Wing Conspiracy.

You are absolutely right! The Dems are the party of racists. I am an independent but I don’t see myself voting for Obama or globalist Hillary. I still lean towards Huckabee, or maybe Ron Paul.
