Drudge is showing Senator Obama at 57% - America's Senator at 29% - and the third-stringer who needs to get out of this race except it's his only job and he can't write another book if he gets out too early John Edwards at 13%.
As you know, this was expected. I'm reading that 50% of voters were black folks, and they voted like 100% for Senator Obama. Of course, those numbers aren't out yet. This reportage is still raw, people. Wait, here you go:
FOX News exit polls showed black voters went for Obama over Clinton by a huge
margin of 81 to 17 percent in South Carolina, and 82 percent of black women
supported the Illinois senator.
So I guess those numbers fall in line with expectations. But do they extrapolate out into the larger numbers of delegates still available? The answer is yes. Consider the black vote. Okay they may get heated over the current tumult in the party, but c'mon, are they gonna leave us and vote with George Bush in the general? No, they'll come home to their girl, Hillary. Which is just what the plan is. And that's the message President Clinton was sent to South Carolina to deliver (again from FOX):
Bill Clinton was, in fact, his own factor in the race, with 25 percent of voters
saying his presence was very important. Among those voters, Hillary Clinton was
winning 48 percent of that vote to 41 percent.
A hard pill to swallow, eh? I love that "Yes he had an effect, no it was't good." At least that's what half of the quarter said. I say all that to say this: Hillary remains America's Senator, and the best chance we have as a party in the general election. We don't need 4 more years of George Bush (he is running, right?)-type shenanigans in the Oval Office. We need a Clinton in the Oval Office once again.
