Wow, Obama Got More Votes Than McCain AND Huckabee COMBINED
In last week's SC GOP primary, McCain and Huckabee (the top 2 finishers), got 147,283 and 132,440 votes respectively. That's a total of 279,723. Obama just pulled down 295,000 by himself.

That's simply amazing.

3. And yet there are some here who think McCain would beat Obama?
No way. Obama would clean McCain's rusted clock.

5. and
overall, this primary for us produced the second largest turnout ever in a S.C. primary. The 2000 GOP primary produced 70,000 more voters, which is also amazing, considering the huge disparity in the number of registered republicans in the state.

2. They were saying that today was a record turnout. But ...
The number of registered voters in 2007 – 2,495,806

It seems that not many voters participated

7. 2nd largest attended S.C. primary ever
and primaries normally get just a fraction of the general election.
