1. If this turns out to be true, that is fantastic news for Obama!!!!

[forsberg]

2. no shock here

SC is Obama's state, Clinton and Edwards split the white vote to give the win to Obama.

[MadBadger]

5. But with Obama getting a very respectable 24%, that is very very good.

[Adelante]

14. I was hoping for 30, but 24 is very respectable nt

[rufus dog]

9. got bad grades in math Einstien?

[forsberg]

16. how's your english?

EinSTEIN

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Math Wasn't My Forte But The Order Is Obama-Clinton--Edwards

[cali]

15. oh for pity's sake. Obama also won Iowa. Was that "his" state too?

And up until a month of so ago Clinton had a solid lead in SC. Obama did well in NH and NV. You can try and convince yourself that he's not a genuine opponent to her, but he damn well has been up til now, and you better prepare yourself for that to continue.

[Yael]

3. Edwards got 0% black women. None.

They are full of shit.

[ellisonz]

11. Wah?

Black women or FOX?

[Yael]

21. Sorry -- Faux Noise

Thanks for catching that. :hi:

[ellisonz]

27. No problem.

Why do you think Edwards message of economic populism doesn't resonate better among the black community? Is it just that he doesn't make an extra effort to get their votes and focuses on working-middle class whites?

[Occam Bandage]

4. Obama competitive with whites; Clinton loses whites. Nice.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

12. Obama losing 3/4 of whites is competitive?

[Occam Bandage]

17. Obama barely 10% down? Yeah, it is. Sorry you don't like the results.

[RoveRage]

29. And Hillary not getting over 60% is???

[Colobo]

6. Damn! Gobama!

[Zynx]

7. If that's the case, Obama would by 15 or so.

[sunonmars]

8. if thats true ,here we go with the "black candidate" meme

The racial divide is not good at all. The msm will be all over that

[MadBadger]

13. Bullshit. Obama getting 24 % is fine. MSNBC thought he would get 10 %.

[Adelante]

Tee hee

You are the funniest :rofl:

[Pirate Smile]

26. No - he got 1 in 4 white voters and there are three candidates splitting the vote.

He did fine. The 10% from the McClatchy poll was what the press was freaking out about and he is 14% above that.

[Azathoth]

10. So the big news is Obama does significantly better among whites than Hillary does among blacks

Even with the Clintons' southern strategy.

[Pirate Smile]

36. Nice - I like that. I hadn't looked at it that way yet.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. If Obama gets 24% of the white vote, that is HUGE.

[sunonmars]

22. yeah so lets get this

Obama takes over 80% AA vote and only 24% of whites.

The white candidates take 76% of the whites and only 18% of the black vote.

Yeah thats a racial divide alright.

[MadBadger]

30. If these numbers are true, Obama should get over 50 percent of the vote.

[sunonmars]

35. If it breaks down then as

If Obama took 80% of the AA vote and they were 50%, then 40% of his total was AA votes and about 10% white votes.

How do you think the MSM is going to spin that.

[Drunken Irishman]

31. There is a divide, but 24% for a candidate many thought would only get 10%...HUGE.

[jackson_dem]

34. Yup. We can't pretend race didn't play a role in the outcome

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. just as we can't pretend that Hillary's performance in the NH diner....

aimed at white women, didn't play a role in her victory there. Sadly, in the South, white people (even so-called liberals) can't bring themselves to support a minority candidate. If that plays itself out on Tsunami Tuesday, HRC will be the nominee, and that makes me sad for the whole world.

[jackson_dem]

40. Obama got 24% among whites. Let's not call white Dems racist

He didn't do as well as he did in New Hampshire because Edwards got 39% of the white vote in SC instead of 17% like he did in NH.

We didn't. People talked about the role women played in Hillary's win.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. These are early results - it depends what part of SC is reporting

I think the results could eventually be almost anything at this point.

[Orangepeel]

23. they have to be exit polls, not results (n/t)

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

24. Still looks like the Old South to me. I'm 66 years old and tired of

the race thing.

[Unsane]

25. HUGE for Obama.

[MadBadger]

If these Exit polls are correct, Obama will get more than 50% of the vote.

[Barack_America]

28. 24% Holy Shit, I Could Cry!

Not because it's good news for Obama, because it's really good news about our country.

24% in the South, for a black man. Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived.

[ozone_man]

38. Yes, it is very good for Obama.

And I'm an Edwards supporter.

[smalll]

32. If this is true, assuming 50% black vote (which I think is expected in SC)

and 50% white, it's a landslide for the O-man.
Obama 52.5% total,
Clinton 26.5% total,
Edwards 20% total.

Latino vote is pretty low in SC, so that's a rougly fair extrapolation from those numbers. Obama isn't really going to win so big, is he?

[Hart2008]

37. Thanks for crunching the numbers. n/t

[loveangelc]

33. If that's true then that's good.

[Indenturedebtor]

41. WHOA hang on a second

Though I think that this should be posted as it is information of sorts...

This is from FOX!!! Take it with a salt molecule people. Though they may not be completely full of shit here, past experience urges skepticism.
