"Surveys of voters indicated Edwards had the support of 44 percent of voters, compared to 31 percent for U.S. Sen. John Kerryof Massachusetts, and 9 percent for the Rev. Al Sharpton."

Do candidates need 15% of the vote to receive delegates in South Carolina? If so, and should Sharpton and Clark end up below 15%, would Edwards and Kerry split up all of the SC delegates proportionally?

If Sharpton gets shut out in the delegate count because he got only 10% of the vote, he should hold a rally declaring "NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE" and demand that he be given 10% of the delegates. The Democrats being the Quota Party, they may just do it.

Get this - they are of course, using exit polls to predict Edwards in SC. According to "The State" newspaper, more than 1,250 people were interviewed as they left the polls. But they are estimating over 200,000 casted votes.

“In some precincts in Richland and Lexington county, more people have already voted today than voted in the state's most competitive Democratic primary ever — the 1994 gubernatorial contest,” S.C. Democratic chairman Joe Erwin said.

Ya'll watch the numbers coming in tonight - betcha Sharpton does better than expected. And Edwards percent numbers go down.
