Monitoring the coverage of liberal media outlets CNN and MSNBC this evening, it seems clear that MSM sentiment is largely anti-Hillary, pro-Obama. I don't actually think that to be the case, at least not yet. If it ever is, she's done for despite her possession of the most powerful Democrat machine in the country - New York's. Obama is not to be disregarded there, either - his own machine, Chicago's, is the second most powerful Democrat machine in the country. If the predominantly East Coast media ever do turn on Hillary it will constitute a sea change in American politics.
But perhaps a bit too much is being made of South Carolina. I got the sense she blew that state off some weeks ago. Why? Because she denied it.

Not according to an internal memo that Drudge posted where they thought Bill knocking on every black vote would help her win, coupled with how much money and manpower she invested in the State. Larry Sabato said her campaign believed she'd win by 2%.

I believe not enough is being made in South Carolina. imho this will be known as _the_ turning point of the campaign, and along with Iowa as the victories that catapulted Obama to the nomination. It is hard to see "historic moments" when you are in the middle of them. Hillary's graceless non-concession concession was a second historic moment that appeared to be a non-moment.
The American people will ultimately interpret it correctly, as a racist response showing lack of respect for Obama.
