hope all Edwards delegates will go over to Obama next.
Meanwhile, congratulation to Barak Obama.

I deeply hope, that HRC will be uoheld from being President, this would take us years and years back. But I kow, the establishment will fight, with all their possibilities, including the NYT.

CNN pundits are way off and skewed towards Obama. One of them just said that Obama has more appeal across races when a few minutes before they had reviewed the numbers to reveal that of all Obama's voters, 80% were balcks and only 20% were whites. Then we see Hillary's numbers and find out that 65% of her voters were whites and 34% were blacks. So it seems that Hillary got more blacks then Obama got whites, in a percentage basis.

That goes to show that Hillary is actually more evenly supported by all races. But of course, CNN picks and chooses how to report the numbers.

We will see what happens in Super Tuesday when Hurricane Hillary takes over America.

Hillary 08

If you think that SC is not about Black/White then tell me how many Black votes went to EDWARDS??????

So think again!

I

We are wondering why the media focuses so much on Obama being black. After all, he is half white. Look at the man and report on issues not race. Being from Illinois, we were at many functions when he was running for Senator and don't see a "black" man, he is genuine, intelligent and will lead this country. This generation has had their turn, let's let someone from the younger generation show us what they can do. That person is Barack Obama!!

Congrats to Obama, enjoy your night. This was to be expected. Clinton will win Super Tuesday and eventually the nomination.

With Obama winning tonight this will propel him further towards the nomination. If I were Obama I would be courting John Edwards to drop out and endorse him with the idea of becoming the VP. This way the 15% of the Democrat vote Edwards is garnering will go to the Obama camp and the Clinton machine will be relegated to the dust bin of history. Good bye Hillary.

Kyle

I would like to see more objective reporting. I just read an article where it was written that Hillary Clinton won Nevada. Delegate votes are necessary to win the Democratic nomination. Obama recieved 13 to Clinton's 12 that doesn't sound like a Clinton victory to me. In the 2000 presidential election Al Gore won the popular vote. No one reported that he won the election. While having the support of the majority of the people is nice, we must look at what is necessary to win the actual contest.

It seems that this kind of reporting is done to sway the opinion of viewers. This is very irresponsible because many people are too lazy to research the issues. Instead they just want to vote for a "winner". This type of reporting gives those people a false impression of who the winner really is.

Go Obama ! Go …WE want change ! WE want Transparency .!..OBAMA !

When Senator Obama brought OPRAH into the fold some weeks ago in South Carolina we heard "His toungue was dipped in truth" all the focus has been on former President Clinton and his supposed racial remarks , yet once again OPRAH goes untouched with a remark only reserved from whatever higher spiritual power in which the individual person believes. Since when does OPRAH know who has had their tongue dipped in truth. Race became the focus from the entry of the ever powerful OPRAH WINFREY when she entered her statement of the Senator's explicit truth. One cannot look at OPRAH and OBAMA and not think that comment was racially charged. FYI I am a white OPRAH fan since she started on TV and that comment was just alittle over the top. The Senator from Chicago needs to get to the meat of the matter. What exactly does he stand for besides "Change that we can believe in."

does not matter ,finally it will be hillary who will win in the country

Enough with the one-sided reporting already!!!! Barack Obama is nowhere near as articulate and specific as Hillary on issues and your team knows this. Yet your station continues it's unwarranted attack on the Clintons. Obama played the race card in his continued reference to Martin Luther King and the "march" You guys jumped on the bandwagon and now just watch the wheels fall off the wagon.

It"s the South. What do you expect? We should have let them succeed from the Union.They have been nothing but trouble ever sense. Remember the red states gave us Geore W. the worst president in the history of the nation…..

jon just saying change does not do anything. you have to be able to turn words into action and when you willnot vote yay or nay on important issues you will not get anything done

It's amazing to me that somehow whites can overlook race more so than blacks.
In Iowa Obama won handily because most apparently overlooked race and voted on the issues. In South Carolina it appears that Obama won handily because blacks voted for the black candidate. Now he just better hope that on super tuesday whites don't send him the same message..

Obama will never make it now that he has been labelled the "Black Candidate".

Good for OBAMA!!…the time for change is now. Out with the old in with the new…GO OBAMA!!….im still not convinced about those superdelegates…the clintons lead by alot…

Its only one state and only democrats vote ….and the majority are black ……..no big surprise mr obama …….but other big states are coming and the general election will not give a victory to obama , it will be either McCain or Clinton

What's Bill Bennett doing in Nevada? Backsliding?

Good post Kyle. That's what should happen–Good by Hillary.

I feel bad for Edwards, he has some valid points. I disagree with him on much but I still respect him and his opinion.

He would be a good VP and I might vote for him as that…. just not as President.

Edwards has to drop out or risk becoming irrellevant.. My guess is that he then endorses Obama. I doubt that he would accept a VP bid unless Gore ran to unify the party.

If you want transparency … then try having obama actually GIVE FACTS and DETAILS and SPECIFICS on his plans instead of just inspirational rhetoric. If he doesn't start to give more details on his plans and promises, instead of just flowing beautiful words in the next debate he will look just as ignorant on the facts as he did at the last debate. You don't have to be a great debater to be able to just lay out point by point, fact by fact of what your plans intail for america.

Transparency is a joke … look beyond the words ….

Bravo Obama….

Hillary is Queen of the "Say-what-it-takes" politicians.

Both parties are inflicted with this virus.

They just don't know what to do with a man who says the truth and tells it like it is.

The world awaits your arrival.

GO! GO! GO!

Signed, an independent Republican…

Tonight is a great night in American politics!!!! This shows that Americans can look past lies and deception and vote for a candidate with merit! Obama/Edwards 2008!!!!!

good idea Kyle!!!! I hope that's what Obama does.

nothing is over til the fat lady sing GO HILLARY

Ditto……..Go Obama. We aren't ready for Hillary Dillary Dock!!!!!!!!

Do you think the Florida Delegates should be counted?, And if they are not do you think it could possibly affect the November Elections?

Hillary'08!

This is not the end of the story, everybody knew SC will go to Obama. You can't expect objectivity from black voters. And finally.. there will always be a Republican option!

NoObama, there is noway to have another pseudo-unifier with vague ideas as US president

Edwards should endorse Hillary Clinton.

GOOD LUCK TO OBAMA
I M A HILLARY SUPPORTER BUT MR OBAMA DOES HAVE A VERY GOOD MESSAGE
GOOD LUCK TO HIM

Wasn't Obama predicted to easily win NH? And didn't they say people lied during the exit polls? Hmmm…..

I would like to hear what percentage of Sen. Obama' s votes were from white voters. So much has been made about the black vote. I believe his support is very diverse. This factor has not been reported or commented on.

has anyone else noticed obama still has the most national delegates? and now, if he wins south carolina, he's really got the lead. he is the frontrunner, plain and simple.

Why was West Virginia flashing on the Super Tuesday map on CNN with Wolf Blitzer? We don't vote until May 13th.

I am a staunch Democrat and I happen to support Hillary Clinton for President.

I am wondering to myself why Michigan and Florida are being penalized by the Democratic National Committee for moving their State Primary up. I am aware that Illinois, which is Barrack Obama's home state, has moved up it's State Primary to February 5th, but has not been penalized by the Democratic National Committee. Why is this?

Obama is a pretty likable fellow, but I want our next President to fight for all people. It would also help if they had experience, and don't need "on-the-job training". This isn't any ordinary job. I will cast my vote for Hillary.

Given that all of this racial stuff unfolding Hillary is holding in there. Edwards is developing into a spoiler and can do harm to Hillary in long run esp. if he sides with Obama going into convention.
Other then that the fact that Clinton and Edwards are takin vote on racial lines with Borac takin blac vote all is coming down to the super tuesday deal. There I think Hillary will come out ahead but with no majority we are in for a fight . Hopefully we can stay together and not hurt ourselves and give repubs breathin room to election. Go Hillary

Clinton needs to keep her husband behind closed doors. She needs all media attention on her and her message if she is going to compete Feb. 5th against Obama's message and momentum. I would love to see a well fought, close campaign where the convention regains some of the relevance of old time politics.
The debate would be good for this country.

South Carolina doesnt matter.

If Edwards endorses Obama, game over Bill. Sorry Hillary.
Obama '08

Good idea Kyle. Very Good idea!

The big loser is Bill Clinton; this is the most spectacular fall from grace from a politician since the Larry Craig fiasco.

obama for change and getting things done in washington, and ending the gridlock, fresh,creative and innovative ideas! God bless America!

Obama won by playing the race card. He is an opportunist. In Nevada, he palyed the Ronald Regan card, In South Carolina, well you know. But when you play race card to get elected in SC, your your preaching of unity is nothing but hypocrisy

Kyle:

Mr Edwards as a VP, would be good, but I really am not sure he would go there. I think Bill Richardson is still front-runner for VP.

I wonder if Mr Edwards would be interested in a Cabinet position, though? He could do well with Housing & Urban Development or Heatlh & Human Services. Maybe even Labor.

Supreme Court Justice Edwards?

I think Obama is proving that he can not only lay claim to a landslide victory but also has an appeal to white voters. If he had recieved less than 10% of the white vote in SC I might be singing a different tune, but based on the turnout tonight I am very inspired that he can swing many of the red states into his favor. I agree with Kyle. An edwards Obama ticket would be awesome!

Hy Kyle,
Good idea about Obama/Edwards. However, Edwards comes across as an angry man. How about Obama/Jim Webb (Virginia)?
Webb was the very first to endorse Obama, and very early on. I really think that would be a good team - Webb is Southern, and ex military.

I'm happy to see Hilliary lose this one. She is not fit to lead the free world. Her husband, Bill belongs in prison.

We want Obama, dont let the white news media fool you, US WHITE PEOPLE LOVE OBAMA!

Obama did well in the white rural state where people don't face the day to day racial issues or some have the memory of guilt about slavery from their ancestors; and in a largely black state with very biased voters. He hasn't done well in states with mixed demographics so the game is not over.

It was incredible to see that Hillary was rated as the most experienced by over 80% of voters; more than 50% worried about the economy' but still experience determined choices only for 15-20% of voters. SC voters have no logic! How do they expect to have things fixed? Chanting, governing all together and maybe issuing stimulus packages?

Hillary'08! Its not possible to have only unrealistic people in America. If these are the Democrats? well, there are other options too..

Right on and right on! WE WANT UNITED STATES … not red & blue states.

We want a leader who keeps us fired up - not one who creates "vast right wing conspiracies".

We want straight talk … not "I didn't inhale" and "I did not have sex with that woman".

We want a President we can believe in! Not one we are afraid of.

GO ALL THE WAY, BARACK - WE WILL DO OUR PART TO GET YOU THERE!

'B' to the 'a' to the "r-a-c-k" ….. B+A+R+AC+K O+B+A+M+A

OUR HOPE & INSPIRATION

—– OBAMA - '08 —– YES WE CAN!

Yea and the cowboys thought they were going to the super bowl too.lol

Thank You South Carolina ! ! ! Hillary is running in '08 on "change and experience” as she was the former First Lady. Does that mean that Chelsea Clinton will run in '16 on "change and experience" as a 2x First Daughter? Kinda beginning to sound like a monarchy. Do your research. Get Informed, Stay Involved, and Free Yourself ! ! !

I can't see Mr Edwards taking the VP slot. I still put Bill Richardson in the lead for that role.

I CAN see Mr Edwards in the Cabinet as Secretary of Health & Human Services or Secretary of Housing & Urban Development. Maybe even Labor.

Maybe even Supreme Court Justice Edwards.

Hey, im white and guess who Im voting for…….OBAMA! GO OBAMA 2008

The clintons politics are pure garbage, I have never seen any disgusting desperate politics in my life other than the clinton administration!

Transparency!!!….Ask his Chicago buddies about all the sweet deals he got!!! LOL

I am a 51 year old white male , and today my faith in the American people has been lifted greatly. I am also disabled and live on a fixed income , but i do intend on supporting Barack Obama with a donation to his campaign.

The right person at the right time !

Yes we can

Fired up

Ready to Go

OBAMA 08

Thank You South Carolina !

Yes, well we have been fooled by CNN projections before, now haven't we. Anyone remember Florida? (Yes, I know, unfortunately they are still a part of the USA.)

ALRIGHT PEOPLE NOW WE HAVE A RACE

This is a new day for America..the Clinton method of slash and burn politics did not win. The most polarizing couple in American politics got a reality check. The American people are not stupid enough to believe your lies!
Thank you Iowa and Thank you South Carolina!

SHE'S FINISHED………………….PERIOD

Its a long way from over.

What does Edwards to for an Obama Edwards ticket? He won't deliver any states. He doesn't have any more experience than Obama. He would be better off with someone with lots of years under his belt. Obama said he is a leader - he needs the "manager" type who can "push the paper". Also, Edwards would probably scare off some independents. The only thing Edwards is good at is telling us how everybody else is terrible. McCain does the same.

I say goodbye John Edwards, it will be a good day when he is gone.

Obama is change, Hillary is not. Rudy or Romney are change. McCain is not. Unfortunately, the primaries will probably leave us with Hillary vs. McCain. That race screams 3rd party nominee.

I heard earlier an idea that really intrigued me. John Edwards as Attorney General. There he could really make an impact on many of the issues he's cited in his campaign for justice and equality. As a native daughter of SC, I'd welcome John Edwards as US Attorney General!

Obama a real inspiration for our United Nation. He is a UNITER not a DIVIDER.
The Clintons are nothing but a pair of traders to this great Nation.

Go Obama Go!! You are the best person for the job! Stop playing the Clinton's game and show us the person you really are!

I am a republican and I am for OBaMA. And I am white. Race has nothing to do with me voting for a man who is truly a UNITER of this great NATON. Get the Clintons off our backs.

They are all liars, blacks for obama..blah blah.

Sorry Charlie, John is not the man you believe him to be . There is a dark side of the man that will come out and the Republicans will be better off.

In spite of many things against him, I hope John Edwards will continue in the race. Among the democrat candidates, he is the best, and the only one truly interested in the american people. Obama will not unified this country behind him, and Hillary,well Hillary, she is the best lobbyst for corporate America. Who really wants her in the White House.
The challenge here is act with responsibility and vision. Sounds great to have an african american for president, but he still needs the political experience and international presence needed for this position. As I said, Hillary represents the past and the interests of the corporate world.

That is why America needs John Edwards, uncommited to the rich, preserver of the Democratic Spirit of dedication and hard work and commitment to country. Most importantly HE IS people oriented, a big change needed in Washington.
WAKE UP AMERICA, WAKE UP, JOHN EDWARDS IS THE BEST SHOT

No one on these sites pay attention. Edwards already called Obama to make a deal. Obama said no way.

No offense…. I'm not voting for Obama. I find his supporters negativity to be a turn off.

I wish the exit polling had asked the John Edward's supporters who their second choice would be. I think they would overwhelming support Obama and thus illustrate how much broad his support is.

I see a lot of people saying Obama is change and is the uniter. How do we know that? Because he says so? If he ends up in the White House he will have to play the insider game or nothing will get done. There will be no overnight change no matter who wins. It doesn't work that way. People need to wake up a little.

Obama is real change and the fresh ideas,and represent better the spirit of the Democratic party,Romney is the real coservative,but in the supertuesday Hillary and Mac Cain will win in the delegate rich states of NY,NJ and California , Hillary will have the votes of white woman, a good number of white men and the mayority of of hispanics .Mac Cain is less secured but still in pretty good shape even if he lost in Florida

YES WE CAN and we will UNITE this Nation. Come on and vote for OBAMA you people of this great NATION . Let us show how much we really care.

First Victoria, as a Caucasian I can tell you that we never refer to ourselves as "a white" so that further proves that the black community is still trying to make this about race and the color of someone’s skin. It shows that this race for the black community has everything to do with their skin color and not for who is best to run the country and who will implement the correct changes for our country. I have spoken to many blacks and in fact have said it has everything to do with race when voting for Obama. They say it is a pride issue. The good thing is that South Carolina means nothing at the end because it was a calculated loss from the beginning. The Clinton campaign already knew that the majority of blacks will continue to go towards there own kind. The black community shows once again that blacks are the ones that want the issue of discrimination brought up and they feed of that in our society. Mainly because it gives them perks in the system. Why don’t you go on winkalipdi.com and read the Bios of the nominations and then get a little intelligence before speaking about who is the best candidate. I bet that if I went to South Caroline and asked 50 percent of those that voted for Obama, what way he did he vote for late term abortion and notification of the parents, that you would say against, but let me tell you he actually voted against making it illegal to have a late term abortion among mean other things. Grow up black America and get into the 21st century where if you wan to make something of your life you can and do not have to play the “I am Black” card to get somewhere.

Go Hillary!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!Q

HILLARY should focus on the big picture now! HILLARY is leading the national polls still. Hillary knows that she will be second in SC and that is why she is focusing on the Super Tuesday!

The only candidate who is ready on Day 1 is HILLARY! Obama can be a good VP for HILLARY that is a good ticket. He really needs more experience to lead us, but now we need someone who is experienced and can face the Republican, that person is HILLARY! We support her all the way and we believe in her vision for this country!

Thank goodness 5 Feb is almost here. We will have a winner come 6 Feb.

SC just reinforces how this election is going to play out. It will be Hillary v. (probably whomever wins Florida).

Why Hillary? In the end women what a woman and blacks what a black. There are much more women and Hillary is going to take the Latino vote across the west.

Hilary wins NY and California and all the other Western states. Obama will probably take IL and a few southern states.

I was happy to vote for Hilary already in California. Why? She is more qualified and as a woman it was nice to realize we might just finally be represented.

Allan,
Your comments scare me! “Their kind”.. Oh please help us if that’s the terms Clinton supports use. Please can’t we just unify for one cause?

Again I wonder why Illinois is not penalized by the Democratic National Committee for moving our Primary up to February 5th, when Michigan and Florida were penalized for the same thing. It is widely known here in Illinois that this state moved up our Primary to give Obama a chance to "get ahead in the delegate race".

I have posted this same blog question before, and it has been erased and not printed at all. I will try again and see if it is posted this time.

ALLAN…………ANOTHER ANGRY BILLARY SUPPORTER……YOU AND YOUR KIND IS MAKING THIS ABOUT RACE…..EVEN IF EVERY BLACK PERSON IN S CAROLINA WOULD OF VOTED FOR OBAMA ,HE WOULDN'T OF WON……SO U COME TO THE 21ST CENTURY, GROW UP AS U PUT IT, AND STOP WITH THE IGNORANCE!

Well, if it is important (and brilliant) enough to note that Hillary was second, and Edwards third (the most important aspect of both would be the missing "distant", but who worries about details), then you forgot to mention "Kucinich fourth", and Smedlap fifth, etc. CNN, there was ony one worthy headline tonight "Obama cushed Clinton .. both of them." Thanks in advance. Glad to help your weary editors out.

WOW, i cant believe what i have read from Allan and Edd of LA, the Clinto message is obvious in their comments, DIVISIVE. Keep posting folks, gives all us independants and neutrals MORE reason to support the UNIFICATION message from OBAMA. Amtrak is huge and its rolling but Amtrak couldnt stop the BARAcK juggernaut.

Allen, you are right, Victoria's comment played racial card, just like Obama. why she needs to tell us 'white' or 'Republican'? because she is dishonest.
No matter what, Obama will not move to White House, Hillary is the only one who fits to the White House and she will lead our Country to the right direction, because she knew the past so she will make the new Chapter.

Well, thank gosh South Carolina is over and done with. We never expected Hillary to win there with most of the black voters sticking together. But now on to other states where the results could be a lot different. It's just too bad that the press kept reporting that 50% of the Democratic registered voters were AFRICAN AMERICANS. Why couldn't 100% of the registered Democrats be just AMERICANS. IF the Blacks, Hispanics etc want equality then they need to quit calling themselves BLACK AMERICANS, MEXICAN AMERICANS ETC. Do we say AUSTRALIAN AMERICANS, BRITISH AMERICANS, ENGLISH AMERICANS. I Don't think so, All who are citizens should be proud to just say I am an AMERICAN. The media is what keeps the race thing going. Anything for story. CNN has been the worse. I for one am glad to be out of there and on to other states. 22 states will vote on Feb 5th….let's see how that goes. We will see if those states have BLACK AMERICANS or just plain AMERICANS. Hopefully they will all be AMERICANS.

What a slap in the face to resdients of South Carolina. Why is Hiliary in tennessee, does this not further support she will say whatever to get elected and go wherever to get elected? Man what arrogance.

Allan - so how do you explain Obama's 92% caucasian vote victory in Iowa?
You need to get over your yourself.

The Republicans simply can't wait for Hillary to be nominated.
They will simply chew her and her adulterous Billup.
Republicans will control the White House for the next 8 years. You Dems will make sure of it.

Go GOP!!!

I remain a Loyal Independent.

Just thought I'd throw in a couple of thoughts. One, CNN comentators (Bill Bennett, as an example) spent much of the evening before the vote was in trashing Hillary. When the resuts were in, everyone on the staff were falling all over themselves saying, "Obama is the wave of the future!" and, "S.C. showed that they were going with the new and rejecting the old." Then, ready for this? When Obama spoke they showed the whole speach. When Edwards spoke, they showed the whole speech. When Hillary spoke who, after all, came in SECOND to Edward's third, they cut her speech off. MSNBC didn't even bother to show Hillary's speech. I think I'll never get over the out-rageous sexism shown by the media all through this election. I know, I know. A lot of you say you "hate" her. But this is no way to treat ANY politician. You don't like Hillary so let's kick her arouond? Remember, next time it could be your candidate.

Allan, for you to attempt to insult someone elses intelligence, and to pretend that you know what motivates Blacks to vote shows your own ignorance. For one, I am a Black man, and I am preparing to vote for Barack Obama, and it has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin….it has EVERYTHING to do with how I believe he will run this country. And just for the record Allan, you have somehow forgot the fact that Barack Obama is HALF WHITE (another examply of your ignorance)!!! Secondly, I do not believe that you have "spoken to many Blacks" who are choosing to vote for Barack simply because he is Black. From the tone of your comment, I don't think you speak to Blacks much at all. Third of all, if you are saying that South Carolina was a "calculated lost" from the Clinton campaign because of the "Black" voters, then that indicates that it wasn't Black people who made this a race war, but the Hillary campaign (by the way, which I do not believe is the case here…but I'm just feeding off your ignorant comments). Also, that next to last sentence in your comment made absolutely no grammatical sense whatsoever so I am not even going to comment on that.

CC
I think you mean "want" and not "what"???

Please tell me how Hillary is more qualified because I do not see it and I used to support her and her husband.

I am a white middleaged woman and I am voting for Obama on 2/5.

53% of voters were black and Obama won 81% of them. There is no way anyone else could have won this "contest" because the math made it impossible. It just goes to show that race works BOTH WAYS and that America HAS NOT moved forward as all of the media and all the Obama supporters would like us to believe.

i also say go hillary, go home.

i thought so highly of the clintons until this race and i now see them for what they've always been. and it will be worse if they do get elected. i am ready to turn
the page, everyone forgets how much bs we had to listen to and all the scandals when they were in office.

i can't for the life of me understand why doesn't barack bring up Sandy Berger, Jose Carbrera, Johnny Chung, Vina Gupta, John Huang, Norman Hsu, Webster Hubbell, Abdul Rehman Jinnah, Dan Lasater, Jim McDougal, Susan McDougal, Peter Paul, Anthony Pellicano, Keith Raniere, Samuel Rivera, Gary Winnick?

Am I the only one who remembers how miserable the final years were of the administration were?

I say, Hillary will win February 5.
Why? Because she is strong person, she is not going to run on Radio and cry I lost, please help and all media will say “ o, poor you”.
She will keep going. She will talk to local people about each individual issue. Not like Obama talking in slogans. I can not connect with Obama. I need specifics.
Hillary 2008!

Thank you Allan keep blogging the facts.

CC…voting for Hillary because she is a woman and you might just finally be represented is a slap to every woman who has or is now serving in any elected position or even in the military…I myself would be ASHAMED to know that this pathological liar would be worthy of any female vote.

Allan,

Keep speaking up! Your racist and ridiculous rant does wonders for your candidate Hillary. Sounds like you are drinking your own punch too. A former president of Illinois NOW switched her support to Barack because she knows he is pro-choice and thought it disgusting and dishonest that Hillary continues to state otherwise.

Allan - This is not the first time a black person has run for President and, in the past, as in this election, not all blacks supported the black candidate. It's funny that after 43 WHITE MALE presidents, NOW you want to point out people's voting pattern when there is a threat of real change in the FACE of our President. Did you cry out against the possible unfairness of having 43 White Presidents or question whether the lack of whites voting for other races was the cause?!?

The political coverage on CNN is decidedly one sided and immature. Reporters after reporter allow their personal animus about Hilary to influence their comments. Obama was as much responsible for playing the race card, yet to hear the CNN, anchors across the racial divide fall over each other, Hilary and Bill were the ones responsible for playing the race card.

They got it wrong in New Hampshire and were humiliated. Wolf, 360 Cooper et al were the ones painting the scenario of ethnic support for Obama in SC long before Hillary or her team made any allusions to it.

Hilary made a comment about the administrative muscle of LJ and CNN deliberately misconstrued this to mean an attack on MLK and a snide against Obama.

The arrogance of the press is nothing but repugnant. We will deny you the ego-satisfaction of playing King Maker.

All the candidates should be accorded equal scrutiny and dealt with fairly. As all fifth columnist, you need to be reminded you are not the news, you need to report on the news and allow we the voters the opportunity to cast our vote.

The caustic and unfair comments about Hilary will not deter us from making an informed analysis of the issues and the stance of the various candidates on them.

As a black man I am supremely insulted about the notion that I should see the issues and vote through the prism of race identity or racism. Mr. Obama may be likeable but I think that I need more than the rhetoric of Hope or the promise of Generational Rapture to vote for him.

We can agree to disagree and remain civil about it. The republican candidates have said far worse things about each other, calling each other dishonest and going for broke in attack ads. I don't see CNN railing against them.

Why should Bill Clinton, who has done, and will continue to do, more for humanity than the "best political team on television" is rubbish for coming to the aid of his wife. You guys in the press should "chill". Hilary and Bill have fought, and will continue to fight, the good fight. My advice to them is don’t pander to the press, especially the toxic CNN brigade; continue to advocate and fight for what you believe in; and most importantly: go for broke, DO NOT BE AFRAID……. OF LOSING

I would advice all political junkies to watch PBS or ABC where they can get a more honest distillation of the facts.

Allan- dude! you're wired too tight. Take a chill pill and maybe even a nap! "whites out number blacks, in fact black only make up about 12% of the US population…so tell me again why they wanted this Primary to be a race issue? That's a no win situation for a black candidate. your anger towards blacks is causing yuo to not think straight! LOL!!!

Allan

I am also WHITE, female, republican and for Obama. Get over it!

what a strech CNN, I predict Obama, Clinton, and Edwards will all finish in the top three,

can I get a job? give me my six figure salary now

PLEASE…stop with the "uniter not a divider" aspect. Nothing about Obama (or Clinton…or Edwards) is bipartisan so stop lying. They all want huge government and weak foreign policy. If you want to argue they unite your party do it. Don't lie to America and paint him as interested in ending bipartisanship.

I've already voted for Edwards using absentee ballot.

Jesse Jackson also won in SC in 1984 and 1988 during primary election. But after SC things changed. This election in SC shows the great race divide, it happened during the time of Jesse Jackson and it is happening now.

A good candidate must be include everyone instead of pandering to their own kind which I find disturbing. 25% of US registered voters are blacks, 60% are whites, the remaining 15% comprises of latinos, asians and other race.

When everything is said and done, Hillary Clinton will be the nominee for the democratic party, especially now we are in recession. Inspiring words are not enough to solve the problems we are facing as we speak.

Obama sounds like Bush, they have the same platform "uniter", "change", "hope", "dreams"; these two are like identical twins.

CLINTON 3 WINS…..

BARRY OBAMA 2 WINS (One on RACIAL LINES)

I'd clearly rather be Senator Clinton than a race-candidate….

allen..Mr caucasian from the caucus mountains listen up my friend.

You have an anger problem and need to calm down. Is this good for your health to be so high strung? Anyways, your hillary lost. Deal with it…

say it with me..yes, we, can!

go obama

I agree 100%
if SC was reflecting anything .. it's was that Obama is a hypocrite using race card just before this primary to secure the majority of the african american votes ..
He did .. but now he can't cry to the voters again , or at least those who are not blind .

okay i don't see what the big deal is here,, obviously black americans feel most comfortable with someone who looks more like them,, just like many white and latinos feel more comfortable with someone that looks like them,, that is not racial but personal preference,, it was not suprising that this would happen just as it was not suprising that it happened in N.H. and Nevada,, nor will it be any different when we look back after super tuesday

Allan,
You really should'nt concern yourself with the issues of why African Americans voted for Obama in South Carolina. When a Caucasian votes for another Caucasian do you see the African American people getting offended? The Obama supporters are very inclusive to all ethnic backgrounds. Too bad I cant say that about the Clinton supporters! WE ARE FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!

OBAMA 08

Concerned Voter - So explain Obama's victory in Iowa……Are u saying that the black population played a major role in Obama winning in milky white Iowa?! At the end of the day, blacks make up less than 15% of the populaton so even if every black person voted for Obama, he could NEVER win the presidency without support from other races. Quit creating an issue that doesn't exist.

Racism is alive and well in the good ol' US of A - only it is not whites who are the racists but blacks.

It's impossible to address the real issues as long as people vote by matching the candidate's color with their own. Wake up people!
I don't vote for Obama not because he's black. He's just lack in substance. He's not more than a hollow wrapped in flowery words.

To the Best Political Team in the business,

When stating the National Presidential Canditate Polls, please be sure to inform your audience to the fact that though they are the most recent, they do reflect individual state polls from as far back as last year and therefore may not reflect current attitudes, opinions, and considerations of real time political events. Most recent polls of near time primarys may be more current though they do not always take in to consideration real time information that is reflected via internet and media.

Failure to inform your audiance of this factor will only result in distrust in the most trusted network CNN.

Respectfullly.

To bad Clinton couldn't have finished 10th out of the field of the Big 3 so we could possibly get rid of the Clintons.

Obama use the poor boy, picked upon by the Clintons, Sympathy card to get African Americans to vote for him. No one bother to look at the voting record, experience, and platform of Hillary Clinton. Obamas voting record is sad, he has little experience, and his platform is taken for the playbook of the other candidates.

This is what you get for playing the wrong role. Last year he is the main player who started the dirty attachs on Hillary Clinton. It is a bad sign when you lose your home State. Keep up the good work Hillary.

Opps, I meant "taking" about Obama's side.

thank you..cnn

I think Edward would a good VP to Hillary, why cant they come together now?

Racist people will never vote out of their comfort zone of race. They are narrow minded people that will never be positive about loving humanity, they can't see past skin color. Most of America including you narrow minded thinker's children have dated out of their race and have mixed race relatives. You have to hate your life. But us open minded thinker's still have love for you. Think about it!!!!!!!

All of you people who are out there bashing Barak Obama and looking for Feb. 5 th to send him back home to Illinois defeated, just you wait and see. Hillary has lost the vote of the MAJORITY OF WHITE AMERICA in all four state races so far. She was overwhelmingly defeated in Iowa "by her kind," in New Hampshire, (Edward's and Obama's chunk of the white vote combined outnumbered hers), Nevada, where the Latinos tipped it in her favor, and in South Carolina. Edwards 39 percent and Obama's 25 percent makes 64% of white folks voted AGAINST her in South Carolina. Obama beat Hillary on her own turf in Iowa, and he beat her to peices on his turf in South Carolina.

Out of the 22 states voting next Tuesday the 5th, I PROJECT that Obama will win at least 15. Who wants to take me on or challenge me on that? Bring it.
