Predicting reactions to the SC results...
Thinking about the SC results, and possible reactions, here's what I expect:

OBAMA WINS

- Obama supporters celebrate, but accuse Clintons of trying to cast Obama victory as a "black" victory in order to shore up white support. The race arguments start again.
- Some Clinton supporters justify Obama supporters' claims by doing precisely that. Unsubtle references to Jesse Jackson precedent, etc.
- Edwards supporters complain that their candidate has been frozen out by the MSM.

CLINTON WINS

- Obama supporters accuse Clintons of using smear-machine to destroy Obama (Rezko, etc.)
- Clinton supporters call for other candidates to withdraw and back the only viable Dem, while silently wondering how they got so lucky.
- Edwards supporters complain that their candidate has been frozen out by the MSM.

EDWARDS WINS

- Trumpets sound, the moon turns red, and strange figures start to descend from the heavens. The American people lose interest in the Democratic primaries. (Just kidding, JE backers. Your guy has lasted longer than mine did, so I'm allowed to kid at your expense ;))

So, who thinks my predictions are wrong? And how likely is it that whatever the result, we're going to face another round of infighting and flamethrowing?
