Well, that was an ass-kicking last night. Pollsters got it wrong again. 28 points? Good gracious me.

Anyone see Obama's victory speech? One for the books...

Re: South Carolina

Clinton failed miserably to portrait Obama as the candidate for "the black" when you see how diverse his votes were. Guess the game is on for Super Tuesday.

Re: South Carolina

Turns out Obama got more votes than the two top GOP finishers, McCain and Huckabee [B]combined[/B]. One interpretation of this I got a kick out of:

Re: South Carolina

I expected Obama to win big in SC. I knew he would get nearly all the black vote as black Americans finally have a real candidate they can get behind. Bill Clinton would've gotten beaten badly in SC too if he had been running.

Although Obama's only won in a couple of small states, it creates momentum to do well in the bigger states. People want to get behind a winner and they may start to believe that Obama has a chance and vote for him.
