Dems in SC

The polls have just closed in SC and the TeeVee says that Barack Obama is the winner. They announced their calls, based on exit polls, at about 7:00:01

The interesting part is they are now discussing the possibility of a third place finish for Hillary Clinton behind John Edwards.

Real numbers as they come in.

Interesting quote from the first AP Story:

Clinton campaign strategists denied any intentional effort to stir the racial debate. But they said they believe the fallout has had the effect of branding Obama as “the black candidate,” a tag that could hurt him outside the South.

Nearly six in 10 voters said the former president’s efforts for his wife was important to their choice, and among them, slightly more favored Obama than the former first lady.

If I’m reading this right, that says that Bill Clinton turned 30% of voters against his wife. That’s interesting.
