You don't think that white SC Dems may trend a wee bit conservative, eh?

22. I'm sorry. You're right, he won by 1% |
|
All of 10,000 votes. Woo!
Did you check out how many people caucused for the Dems as opposed to the GOP? Your analysis is faulty. Quite poor, in fact.

29. That's funny, Obama was running much better against Repubs |
|
in Iowa in general election polls than Clinton. Iowa went Dem in 88, 92, 96, 00 and for Bush by only 10,000 votes in 2004 so it does not tilt Repub

35. look, central plains whites are not southern, coastal whites. please. i'm not saying |
|
that it should influence a person's vote one way or another, but you really can't extrapolate from iowa to florida or new york or kansas.

19. Because they think he'll be easier to beat. They may be wrong - in fact I think |
|
any dem beats any GOP-er, but they certainly think so, hence the massive media pimping for Obama:
Obama: 47% positive, 16% negative. Clinton: 27% positive, 38% negative. McCain: 12% positive, 48% negative Giuliani: 28% positive, 37% negative JDNE
Net numbers
Obama +31 Giuliani -9 Clinton -11 McCain -36

And the reason that I do is because these are not the 1990s. The politics of hate and racial hatred belong there. Obama is aiming at something higher....while those who don't get it will be left in the gutter. If you think that Republicans are giving Obama his wins, you are wrong. Check the stats!

We haven't, because there isn't one. Nice try.

16. A Bushie on Republicans? Not so inconceivable. It was a signal. Like Cheney |
|
in the Ct elections to prop Joementum - told his people to vote Joementum, not the GOP-er.

11. Voters could only vote in one or the other, not both. |
|
I'm thinking that most Republicans who plan on voting Republican in the fall, voted in their own primary.

18. Check the numbers - only a small number voted in theirs. |

Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 07:43 PM by robbedvoter
These demographics were posted earlier on DU by suston96: have posted these numbers previously:
Interesting demographics about SC. From a state government site. I believe they are current.
Total registered voters in SC: 2,246,242
Total voted in Repub primary: 442,789
That leaves: 1,803,453
Of that non-white voters: 629,000
That leaves total white voters 1,174,353
Non-white voters in SC have shown up by some 20% more than white voters.
The demographics in the exit polling on Saturday will tell all about how the two groups voted.

25. So. There was bad weather. I'm sure that many just skipped the primaries... |

That doesn't mean that they were voting in the Dem primary.

According to MSNBC's exit polls. So no, they weren't a significant factor here. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21226006

They're having a really close, nasty primary fight too. Any R serious enough to play that kind of game would not want to sit out their own vote.
I'll put it to you this way: Would you consider voting in the R primary if it meant your D candidate might lose?
