The Thunder is Sounding! Barack Obama's Coming Huge Landslide in South Carolina!

There's going to be an earthquake on Saturday.

History will be made in the Deep South. And all Americans can take pride in it.

For a very decent and good man, of white and black parents, will be the victor in the Democratic Primary in South Carolina. And it will be a landslide.

Here in my 5th decade of my life, I have not felt so goddamned proud in a very, very long time.

I can hear a great rumble clear out here in California from the East Coast.

And it's the rumble of hope!

And it sounds so good!

What a proud day for America!

I hope so but never underestimate the powers of Bill.

GObama! _YES, WE CAN!_

I will admit it wasn't the landslide Obama is likely to have but I do think Jesse deserves props.

'88 was his victory I believe.

"In these years, Democrats were holding a South Carolina caucus instead of a primary. Intended or not, this fact denied Jesse Jackson likely primary victories in 1984 and 1988. Reverend Jackson was South Carolina caucus winner in 1988."

a) it is days before Feb 5

b) he is running against 2 of the best candidates in the history of the dem party

Hopefully South Carolina will give him some momentum.

But I must confess that I've found myself becoming very emotionally attached to this very decent man. I know that the odds are really stacked against him, but his hopeful message has won my heart.

No matter what happens, Saturday will be Obama's.

I hope that all Americans can take pride in that victory.

to have any slight momentum he may get make a difference. He's fully expected to win SC due in large part to it's strong African-American community, so a win for him will be met with a collective "of course!"

He only leads in three of the twenty-two States voting on February 5th (including his home State of Illinois) and those leads are within the margin of error except for Illinois which he leads by double digits.

Hillary leads by comfortable if not overwhelming margins everywhere else including the delegate-rich States of CA, NY, NJ and MO.

Granted some of the States don't poll as often as others, but this is based on the info currently available.

A great site for info on Primaries and Polls can be found here:

and our country probably won't survive without more serious damage.

would be nice for Obama if NC was the General Election..but no dice.

and there were many problems last Saturday.

Not to rain on the parade, honest, but better to be forewarned.

My SC election integrity estimate with info on SC elections, systems, demographics and pretty maps:

Then they will try to turn the race into more of a race issue by somehow saying that black people voted for him and make white people vote for her.

Hillary won't do it herself, but she's very aware the media will do the job for her, and she's only too glad to reap the benefits.

The media will do it for them - the demographics is hard to ignore.

Will be nice to feel GOOD about America again, about our party again :hi:

chapter of a fascinating contest. I do not think any democratic primary has had this much intensity since 1968. There have been parts of other primaries that were interesting, but this stands out.

I think that older DUers recognize that there is the potential for advancing democracy in 2008, but that there are risks involved in some of the campaign tactics. If Senator Obama wins by a large margin on Saturday, the next nine days will be intense.

(* edited for spelling -- too little sleep recently!)

But the victory will be large.

Good luck to Obama.

played the race card: vote for Obama because he is black. Of course he is going to win SC.

Apparently SC doesn't matter, but Florida does.

Which one has more delegates, I wonder?

I resent you calling me racist. But, I expect no less from you.

Obama and his surrogotes have played the race card well. Clintons cannot mention MLK without being called racist. Obama, and Michelle, and Lowery, and other surrogtes tell the black community that there is something wrong with them if they do not support the black candidate--just because he is black--and you suggest that I am racist, because the black community in SC agrees.

Why do you think that Obama started this race war? Because he wanted to cement the black community against the Clintons. And it worked. That is racism.

You have gone to far to call me racist.

There's going to be an earthquake on Tuesday, Feb 5th.

History will be made in the North. And all Americans can take pride in it.

For a very decent and good woman will be the victor in the Democratic Primary in New York. And it will be a landslide.

Here in my 5th decade of my life, I have not felt so goddamned proud in a very, very long time.

I can hear a great rumble clear out here in Colorado from the East Coast.

And it's the rumble of hope!

And it sounds so good!

What a proud day for America!

Let's not get overconfident!

94,000 indies sat out the GOP SC primary. comapared to 2000... AA support for Obama could be as high as 70% and that community is definitely fired up... They could be 70% in a very large turnout.

How did he do in Nevada, New Hampshire and Michigan? Perhaps the "rumble" you hear is a big giant FART for Obama.:rofl:

Just sayin...

Dude, calm down this is SC!

It will most likely be close because (face it) racism is DEFINITELY an issue in SC (the Bradley effect is not going to show-up in the polls with the white voters)...

I fully expect Obama to win SC, just not by double digits... Think something like:

Obama 41
Clinton 35
Edwards 20

The delegates will once again be VERY close...

It doesn't mean beans in my part of the country. Hillary is in good shape in NY, NJ, PA & CT. Ca is so far looking good too.

Way to be on message.

This wasn't the CW just three weeks ago, but hey, at least you know how to play the game.
