South Carolina Democratic Primary Results
Late deciding voters
The final polls RealClearPolitics - South Carolina Democratic Primary showed:
RCP Average 01/15 - 01/25 - Obama 38.4, Clinton 26.8, Edwards 19.2. If we compare those numbers to the actuals (which everyone did after New Hampshire), it looks like Obama got ALL the undecided vote, and the other two got about what they polled. Could it be the late-dawning ugliness of Bill?
7:00 - CNN calls it for Obama, “strong winner” with 55%. Second place to the Borg with 27%, Edwards third with 18%.
25 delegates for Obama, 12 to Clinton, 8 to Edwards, per MSNBC.
6:50 - From HotAir, Fox has the exits showing Silky beating the Borg among whites. Check them out. Looks like Obama wins over 55% overall, a slightly smashing win. Including 24% of white voters, not too shabby.

I’ll be following. I’m cautiously optimistic of an Obama win, and hopeful that Edwards tops white voters. This would permit a narrative that “The Clintons haven’t made the sale with either black or white voters.”
Bill: But, of course, our opponent is a N****R
Another reporter asked what it said about Obama that it “took two people to beat him.” Clinton again passed. “That’s’ just bait, too. Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice, in ‘84 and ‘88. And he ran a good campaign. Senator Obama’s run a good campaign here, he’s run a good campaign everywhere.”
