Obama runs away with SC primary

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Barack Obama routed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the racially-charged South Carolina primary Saturday night, regaining campaign momentum in the prelude to a Feb. 5 coast-to-coast competition for more than 1,600 Democratic National Convention delegates.

Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina was running third, a sharp setback in the state where he was born and scored a primary victory in his first presidential campaign four years ago.
The Associated Press made its call based on surveys of voters as they left the polls.
About half the voters were black, according to polling place interviews, and four out of five of them supported Obama. Black women turned out in particularly large numbers. Clinton and Edwards each won roughly 40 percent of the white vote, with about 25 percent going to Obama, the first-term Illinois senator.

This is exactly what the Clintons want, as Rush, Morris, and others have said. The Clintons WANT this to be about race, so that white Democrats turn against Obama on 5-Feb and afterward. Once Hillary is nominated, they know that blacks will return to the mother ship, as per usual. How perverse and cynically disgusting. One day, I hope that blacks will realize that the Republican Party best represents their healthy interests.
