I think the old ways of politics ie. Clinton' s and Bush Style feels the ground moving around them. That movement is gaining steem and will really change the way this country governs. The last time this happen was in 1980. If you don't think Reagan made politics different look at the 1984 election map. 49 states. This is somthing that the Clinton's will never be able to do.

Pause for a reality check:

Obama got 24% of the white vote.
Clinton got 17% of the black vote.

The "significance of that moving forward" is that Obama won, and won big.

It's now looking like Obama will win a majority of states on Super Tuesday. The main question is whether he'll draw close enough in New York and California (maybe even pull off a win there) to beat Hillary on delegates.

The exit polls are showing that Obama not only swept the black vote but won at least a quarter of the votes of white Democrats in SC, including a plurality of all young voters. Like the results in IA, NH and NV bodes well for the Obama campaign moving ahead and the Democratic Party in general-- his share of the vote is not based on any one constituency; rather his campaign appeals across constituencies, including some outside the Democratic Party.

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 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.

If Obama gets 81 percent of the black vote in the rest of the primaries but only 24 percent of white -- which is not a substantial haul, as the reporters seem to be suggesting -- then he can't win another primary. there isn't a state of any size or significance that comes close to SC in racial profile. a win is a win is a win, but to say this is a bid deal for obama is only to recognize that if he had lost he would have been done. how about some balance on the set! what is going on in the studio. even if you hate hillary clinton, there isnt a single person on the set willing to present the results from her perspective... which is not entirely ridiculous.

It is not the Clintons who played the race card, it was Obama himself and then the media gleefully jumped on the bandwagon. What these exit polls show is that while the so-called white population is ready to vote on issues, the same is not necessarily true for African Americans. Obama is nowhere near as articulate and specific on issues as Hillary. Stop the hit job on the Clintons or you will lose a lot of viewers.
