SC was NEVER going to be a win for Bernie, it's no shock.

They know that once the actual numbers come out and we see that Sanders still picked up delegates and we subtract the supers, we will find that Sanders is still competitive going into Super Tuesday.

But these vagaries allow for pundits to breathless exclaim that Clinton is inevitable. She is the ONE! My god, she won by double digits!! Well was that 20% or 60%?!

It is frustrating but not disheartening for me. I always expect her to win in SC. I always expected her to win the AA vote. I am bi-racial. I grew up in the south. Anyone who thinks that the major of AA's are 'liberal' even when they vote for Democrats are sorely mistaken. Clinton is the kind of centrist Democrat that appeals.

but wouldn't it be funny if once they counted the votes they found out Hillary lost and the corporate media had to walk back their calling the race before the votes are counted. I would love that more than a win.
