Last Calls From Zogby and Slate.com in SC
Source: Zogby Polling and Slate.com

John Zogby's daily tracking poll shows a sudden reversal in the spiral of support from away from Senators Obama and Clinton. Undecideds have dropped by nearly half. Obama comes in at 41%, Clinton at 26%, and Edwards at 19%, with 10% undecided.

Slate.com's final call is 43.5% for Senator Obama, 29.1% for Senator Clinton and 16% for Senator Edwards, leaving 11.4% undecided/other. These numbers have been consistant for Slate.com since the results of the Iowa caucas. In SC, as in NH and NV, previous to the Iowa caucus', Senator Clinton had held comforatable leads.

Senator Obama leads in nearly all demographics, with the exceptions of the "white" vote in which a slight plurality is held by Senator Edwards over Senator Clinton with Senator Obama a distant third. In in the "over 65" demographic Senator Clinton edges out Senator Obama by a few points.

After SC comes FAT TUESDAY. Let us as Democrats, hope that the nasty nature of the campaign has run its course. Otherwise regardless which of our party's candidates win, we lose, perhaps the White House and all down the national, state, and local tickets.

2. Actually they did not get it wrong in NH. It was because of people like me
who ignored the undecided vote in NH, that the public jumped to the wrong conclusion

True, we were not helped by the media ignoring the undecided as inconsequential, but we should have done our own due dilligence

Nothing I said means anything in reference to South Carolina of course

5. Just maybe when Clinton becomes the nominee with the total support
of a crooked corporate media and he knows that Clinton has about as much chance of winning the national as a paper tiger in a volcano he might just jump in to save the country from certain and complete destruction. Corporate vultures have been dividing up the country for the last 7 years.
