8. He'll leave SC with a victory. You will see his poll numbers rise accordingly.
Why do you think Florida is so important to Hillary?

20. you are as sharp as a butter knife, aren't you
You know MI doesn't have any delegates, yet you count it.

You know Obama won more of NV's delegates, yet you count it.

The actual count is currently:
1 Obama - IA
1 Hillary - NH
1 Tie - NV (I'll give you a tie even though delegates are really all that matters)

So after SC, the count will be 2O-1H-1T

the more you post "3:1", the more desperate your cause appears

It's as if you know you can't win people over based on facts, so you distort them in order to make yourself look good.
hmmm... Where have I seen that before?

24. Then why do you disrespect the People of SC by implying they don't matter
You really lose all credibility when you bring MI into it.

Hillary was the only contender left on the ticket. The result was inherently flawed.

26. Too bad for you the people don't choose the nominee.
Delegates do. And so far Hillary has not won a majority of delegates in a single contest.

6. And Hillary only has 40% of the White Vote while trails among black voters by 52%
So Obama is only 19-points behind Clinton among whites while Hillary is 52% behind Obama among black voters. That doesn't look good for Hillary in future states or even in the Fall campaign if she's the nominee.

7. In a three way race
21% is not bad at all. If Edwards was out, he might be close to 50%

9. you are exactly right
Obama is doing better among white voters than any other AA presidential candidate in history. Sharpten or Jackson never got close to double digits among white voters in South Carolina. Obama is proving that he can win voters of all races. And yes, if Edwards or Clinton were out of the race his showing would be even higher. Though I guess the Clinton supporters must think that all of their supporters are for her in SC because she's white by the kinds of responses we get here on DU from them.

10. Jesse Jackson Must Have Got A Few Votes From White Folks
Because he won South Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan and ten other states in 1988...

13. he did but he isn't doing as well overall than Obama is.
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 07:00 PM by book_worm
I supported Jackson too in Wisconsin primary so he appealed to me too and I'm white.

28. Jackson got 20-35% at his peak, just like Obama is getting
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 12:43 AM by jackson_dem
I don't buy the idea Obama has a racial ceiling, though. The other two-thirds are pro-Edwards and pro-Hillary, not anti-Obama.

17. It's going to increase too now that the Clinton's persistent and relentless
attacks (lies) against Obama are becoming very evident. Face it, Hillary looked like a very nasty and condescending person the other night.

Such as myself will tell you that people of ALL races love him here. Don't fall for the media hype and their talking points. SC is Obama country.
