6. Right, right
But I'm honestly not to dissapointed, Obama only got 1 less delegate, they're still neck and neck, imo.

What I'm trying to figure out is, what will happen in SC if these same numbers play out, does anyone know?

10. I'll tell you what I said earlier
S.C. will probably go to Obama. But not as big a lead as some would have you believe.

Going by the demographics, on Super Tuesday Hillary Clearly has the advantage with the way women voters and Latino's voters are turning out. The young vote just isn't what people saying it is.

I'm not saying Hillary will win a sweep in Super Tuesday, I am saying is she has the advantage.

14. Ah, and if she's the Dem Cand. for the GE, let's say against McCain
how would those numbers play out in that case?

Would independants play a role? Would Hillary bring in Republican women?

15. Heres a news flash in order to be our nominee you have to win the DEMOCRATIC nomination.
Thats has nothing to do with Independents or republicans, a simple fact some people can't grasp.

20. Do you have any guess what Edward's turnout will be in SC and if he drops out where those votes go?
just curious, you seem to know about these demographics!

2. he'll win SC because of the Black Vote
Can't say it's necessarily a winning strategy for a national campaign or Super Tuesday, but if this is what can get him a win, so be it.

He only took 34% of the white vote according to the CNN entrance poll.

9. Do you think she'll bring in Republican and Ind. women?
Ok, does anyone know the percentage of Republicans that are women or the percentage of independants that are women?

I know Obama attracts independants and Republicans, but does Hillary?

11. That does not matter.
Most of our Primaries are closed. Hinging your hope on that is ill advised.

And if you don't believe that then look at what happened in N.H.

16. Well thank god the Republicans didn't descide to run Condi, cause then we'd definately be screwed!
That just wouldn't be fair,

Although, it'll be hard for her to ever escape the role she played in Bush's travesties

Do you think if she was running against a white male Dem. that she would bring in Dem. women?

17. don't forget that republican haven't talked shit about obama yet.
when they let pubs know who obama actually IS they might not be so keen on voting for him.

19. Right, the GE hasn't started, that's kind of obvious, sorry!
If you're trying to say Obama will get attacked by Repukes more than anyone else, that's not really logical. The republicans will go all out on Any Dem candidate!
