1. One of the candidates has given up there and moved on to whiter states. nt

2. While the other continues to buffalo the non whites into thinking she gives a shit about them.

Wouldn't someone who is easily "buffaloed" betray a deficit when it comes to critical thinking skills?

I don't believe my African American brothers and sisters and other "non whites" have such a deficit, at least not a deficit larger than anybody else.


Thank you in advance.


P.S. Maybe this can be the proverbial "teachable moment". She did seem to care about them when she baby sat the children of migrant workers as a teenager in Illinois. She did seem to care about them when instead of joining a fancy law firm straight out of Yale Law School she worked in South Carolina to ensure juvenile offenders weren't housed with adult ones. She did seem to care about them when she went to Alabama to investigate segregated private schools built to thwart desegregation orders. She did seem to care about them when she fought for the Children and Infants Health program which ensured 8,000,000 poor and working class kids.

3. South Carolina went overwhelmingly for Romney in 2012, it seems to be a "red state"...

5. Jesse Jackson won the SC Democratic primary in 1984 and 1988 and Barack Obama won it in 2008.

13. And that tells us SC is not a bellwether for the nomination. 88 they had a caucus, went Jesse who

was not the nominee. 2004 they voted for Edwards, again not the nominee.

15. Name a "bellweather" for the nomination that Sanders is likely to win.

6. This is about the primary

Not the GE

7. This is about the primary Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson won.

8. I like Predictwise

9. That is nonsense, SC is not a big deal.

It doesn't determine anything except some delegates... just like all the other states.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. It might be nonsense to you but the last five presidents have won the South Carolina primary.

The primary system as we know it isn't all that old... I don't believe there has ever been a president from either party, who lost the South Carolina primary.

[Waiting For Everyman]

11. This is a different election year

in case some haven't noticed. The "rules" don't seem to be applying so well.

SC is nothing big. It's one state among 50. And it wil vote red in the GE.

It voted red in the G E when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama carried it in the primary and provided them with much needed momentum. In fact in the latter's case that's when he effectively sealed the nomination. The only question, in retrospect, was when Hillary Clinton would "give up the ghost." The only question left, in the current instance, is when the Vermont senator "gives up the ghost".

His quest , after Saturday, makes me think of St. Jude...

14. That's what we need, the election decided by the S.C. vote.

I certainly hope not.
