COMMUNICATING CLYBURN’S QUID PRO QUO for CAPTURING SOUTH CAROLINA’S PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY for OBAMA
“Communicating Clyburn’s Quid Pro Quo for Capturing South Carolina’s Presidential Primary for Obama” does not dwell on whether House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn arranged for the SC Democratic Party to ‘obtain permission’ from the DNC to move the date of their Presidential preferential primary to the head of the line by capitalizing on the state’s racial “diversity.” The documentary record is clear, he did.
This article does not debate whether Mr. Clyburn subsequently unleashed an orchestrated race-baiting campaign against both Bill and Hillary Clinton to resuscitate Obama’s flailing run at stealing the D Presidential nomination. Judging only by all of the evidence available in the public record, he did that, too. (Read here, and here.)
Rather,this article just exposes Clyburn’s real reason why.

*Obama’s work w/ACORN via CSI in 2008:
“According to FEC records, the Obama campaign paid Citizens Services Inc. $832,598.29, from Feb. 25 to May 17…Citizens Services Inc. is headquartered at the same address as ACORN’s national headquarters in New Orleans. Citizens Services was established in December 2004 to “assist persons and organizations who advance the interests of low- and moderate-income people,” according to paperwork filed in Louisiana. In a 2006 ACORN publication, Citizen Services Inc. is described as “ACORN’s campaign services entity.”

* Obama won the two state contests with the highest record turnout: the Iowa caucuses and the South Carolina primary.
The youth vote tripled in both states, bolstering Obama’s victories, and South Carolina saw higher participation in the Democratic primary than in its Republican counterpart for the first time since 1992.
Those new voters came out of the woodwork of a red state to back Obama, who won every age group under 65. From: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8311.html
