I'm not surprised, but CNN announced this literally a minute after the polls closed. WTH?

Default Kudos to South Carolina! Barack projected winner.

My hats off to the voters of this state. By preferring Obama over Hollow Hillary, they showed that race can indeed take a back seat in recognizing character, depth, versatility, and intelligence that defines the superior candidate Obama.

The voters of this state who favored Barack have more on the ball than the New York Times, go figure.

When Fox News does it in the Republicans primary it's a trash network but when it's the Democrats primary and Commie News Network it's ay-ok.

It is not shocking that Obama won. The state Democratic party is heavily black and he won 75% of the black vote. The good thing is that he also won over 25% of the white vote in a southern state. That proves he can do good elsewhere.

Hopefully he can use this to gain support in the "super tuesday" elections. Somehow I think the Clinton(s) used these arguments to set themselves up for a loss in South Carolina but gain better position in the super tuesday states.

People are sick of the Clintons and the dirty games.

She should thank Wild Bill for destroying any chance she had in SC.



Ok, who stole my CNN name

Go Obama! The polls had Obama with less than 10% of the "white" vote a few days ago...it will be interesting to see exactly what the breakdown is once all is accounted for. I think it is also a statement that people just don't want the negative politics...race doesn't really matter to the majority of voters.

Most of people asked in exit polls said it was good old Bill's rants and the same old from the Clinton camp.

The real and honorable Dems want him and Jimmy to go home and shut up. Now Hillary wants the same thing.
