Joe's been declared the winner with less than 1% counted -- he must've won BIG.

Clyburn's endorsement may have been enough to counteract Operation Chaos. There may have been a lot of people either on the fence or who weren't going to bother until he spoke up.

I'm hoping the numbers for Joe are huge!

He needed that boost. Just tonight on ABC Nightly News that had to phrase their story about the SC primaries as "the front runner, Sanders". The guy won two lily white, small states and all of a sudden Bernie is the front runner. This is how the media keeps the pot stirred. Then they went on to say that Biden has an uphill battle. Blah, blah.

I didn't vote for him, but he would have been my second choice and of course I'll vote for him if he gets the nomination.
