Nobody discloses their race on an election ballot.

When the media says a certain candidate won a certain demographic, they're always referring to exit polls.

You cannot identify someone's race by looking at their ballot.

... we assume it's a lesson learned. Time will tell, I suppose.

... and it's not as if they didn't already have experience. I guess they'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.

Oh well. It's a shame.

There is no "wow"
All this shows is either people are very conservative and vote against themselves or people just don't pay attention to politics/ combination of both.

On the bright side, we can go back to ignoring that backward Dixie state for another 4 years. Super Tuesday is such a better idea. It seems we've wasted 2 months on two of the lamest states in the nation, Iowa and South Carolina. Super Tuesday is such a good idea, I don't even know which states are up next. The way it should be.

South Carolina, AMFs!

I don't like Nebraska, the state, either. These are generalizations. I'm sure you're a swell guy, but in general, not a fan of these states. In fact, I'll take it further. I don't like the fact that empty, homogeneous, conservative states have the relative power of large population, diverse states. Leave us with the decision making. We're the fucking melting pot, and farming is part of our melting pot.
