Obama’s South Carolina victory is much ado about nothing. Bill Clinton may have been race-baiting, but the numbers show his predication was accurate: the black voters carried Obama to victory in SC. He may not fare as well in other states.

I’ll admit, it’s been fun watching Obama knock Hillary down a few pegs. But I’d rather she win the nomination because I believe she’s beatable, whereas he has the type of charisma that could rally people and bring in mindless voters looking for a celebrity in the White House.

Obama’s big victory in SC in an important part of the Hillbilles’ plan to win. The theory is that this huge black turnout for Obama will energize the white voters who support Hillary. It might just work. But work or not, it’s the most blatant example of racism I have seen in my life. And, work or not work, it runs a very real risk of setting back race relations. It also brings up a real dilemma in Nov. if Hillary is the nominee. Blacks have been a big part of Democratic wins in the past. If they turn off over half the black voters by their treatment of Obama then they’ve lost a lot of the votes needed to win.

It’s going to be interesting!

I'm convinced that if Romney is our guy he will take a STRONG VP candidate that will galvinize and take us over the top....that plus he and whoever the VP candidate is will mop the floor with both idiots the Dems throw at us.(sight unseen)

I'm confident of that... Give the voters credit....

It was indeed. Blacks vote for black candidates. 83% in SC. Jesse Jackson won twice. If Danny Glover had been the only black in this race he would have won it too. Blacks are racist against whites. Not exactly news. But Latinos hate Blacks more than Blacks hate Whitey. And that is why Obama has no chance whatsoever in California.

My analysis as well. They will be looking for celebrity and “change,” which simply mean not Bush.
