I can't believe it....He could actually get the nomination.

Well, if that's the case, here's to hoping Romney or Huckabee don't get the Republican nod, because they'll suck as President.

No, becuase McCain might not be _AS_ bad as those other two jackasses.

Personally I'd like to see Edwards win but I don't think Obama would be a bad choice. I just have a hard time believing he can win the general election.

Maybe an Edwards/Obama ticket. That might set Obama up for a good run on 2016 and he may have changed enough closet racist minds to make a difference then.

I just read Barack Obama's biography. Very moving. He's got a lot going for him.

With that said, I'm still a RON PAUL supporter

Yes, he got around 27% of the white vote also.

http://www.ors2.state.sc.us/census20...y_race_pct.htm Looks more like 30% black. Perhaps they were talking about Democrats were primarily black there. Was going on a report I heard somewhere.

Half of the democratic primary voters are black.

Here's the thing though, two months ago Hillary was polling at 80% among the black voters in South Carolina.

I think that if black people were going to vote for him "just because he's black" they would have been with him all along. (like they were with Jesse Jackson)

He's changed alot of minds in the democratic party in the past couple of months.

He also has massive support among independents, and those ARE the people who decide the general election. So to think that he could win the nomination and not have a chance in the fall just isn't a reasonable thing to think.

This doesn't bode well for Edwards.

He was Born in South Carolina, and served for North Carolina.

Dude; you ever been to SC??

I have!
There is nothing there BUT religious voters.

15 years ago it was illegal to buy anything but food on Sunday and all other business were closed by law!!

**Rosie** · 01-26-2008, 04:59 PM

Can I ask what is probably a dumb foreigner question (as I know very little about US internal politics), but is just ordinary people voting in the SC primaries, or party members?

First thing I noticed about the south was they had more churches than liquor stores and gas stations combined

That's because only preachers drink, and really, how much gas does one need to get to church.

Ordinary people are voting in all the primaries but you are correct in that they are actually voting for party members known as "delegates".

The delegates actually cast the votes for the final decision.

**David!** · 01-26-2008, 07:44 PM

If that's the case, what happened in Iowa? It's the whitest state in the union. There goes that theory.

The republicans are scared shitless that he will get the nomination. The tools they have don't have a fucking chance.

I'd love to see the debate with him and Romney. He'd eat him for lunch.

The general election will be a different ball game than TweedleDee Dem V. TweedleDum Dem.

"Scared shitless?" Are you kidding?! LOL! The Republicans are salivating at the thought of competing against a black candidate in the general election.

Barak Obama wins South Carolina
