Obama supporters: A 15% win will be better for your candidate in SC than a 30% win

[Proud2BAmurkin]

For reasons that are clear to anybody paying attention.

Don't get too excited about a blowout. Two edge sword.

[LordJFT]

1. Nice not-so-subtle racism there

[joshcryer]

3. It's pointing out the obvious.

[KennedyGuy]

2. They don't see it..

let them have their night...
I can't wait to see this play out.

[GalleryGod]

37. Kennedyguy...

5. Yes, the projected MUCH HIGHER percentage of the white vote is sure

to bode poorly for his campaign. For reasons that are clear to anybody paying attention. :eyes:

[dkf]

6. Wow, you think Obama possibly won by 30%? Sounds high to me.

but I could go for that.

[JVS]

7. ohh, don't you want to see Hillary shellacked so badly?

:nopity:

[MrsT]

8. A minute ago you said the results were "expected" and it was time to move on

Now you are saying it is better for Obama if the results are to be expected?

Another lame post from DU's lamest poster.

[Levgreee]

9. not worth replying... but you are wrong. the white vote exceeded expectations

[Arkana]

21. If that holds up, it will be a bigger story than any margin of an Obama win.

It will also shatter any illusions of him being "the black candidate".

[Mass]

10. Nearly 50 % of young white voters in SC tell you F* You.

They voted Obama.

[OneGrassRoot]

11. If the exit polls are even remotely correct...

Obama WILL NOT come out of this with the label of the "black candidate."

No, he did well across the board and I congratulate him.

[ccpup]

12. exactly

otherwise the media will spin it as a blowout simply because of the overwhelming support he received from those who make up the majority of the voting bloc in SC.

A tighter win is better, although I think the media will then start asking how he fares with those groups Clinton generally does much better with: Hispanics/Latinos, older voters, women, Democrats, etc.

[ursi]

13. WTF??

Huh? Let's wait this out?

:shrug:

[MadBadger]

14. WHY ISNT MY IGNORE LIST WORKING!!!! GOOO AWAAAAYYYY!!!

[tammywammy]

27. What?

I put the OP on my buddy list. I like a good joke.

[Colobo]

15. Hahahahaha! You're fuckin' desperate.

[H2O Man]

38. Maybe that person

is hoping that Obama wins by 50% .... think how badly THAT would hurt his campaign!

[Arkana]

16. Yes, of course it would be.

Because that way Hillary would get a higher percentage of delegates, right? :eyes:

[Nedsdag]

17. Oh, Mr. Proud,

[catnhatnh]

18. Jesus Christ-I support Edwards and your shit is tired...

why don't you take the night off...

[calteacherguy]

19. He won the vote of 24% of caucasion folks IN THE SOUTH because of the CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER! nt

[tammywammy]

20. You're so cute

:loveya:

[tekisui]

26. You say cute, I say...

Fuckin' putrid.

:puke:

Non stop, this one.

[tammywammy]

32. Oh I agree

[JI7]

22. haha, WHITE VOTERS kicking up Obama victory more than expected

[Onlooker]

23. That's ridiculous

If Obama wins by more than 20% I think the Clinton campaign will be ripped by the media for the miserable way it tried to score points.

[Indenturedebtor]

24. Yeah

Because the majority of Americans want to make sure that the Black Man stays in his place. :sarcasm:

A blowout will demoralise the other side. A close loss for her opponents will galvanize them. Fortunately I don't think that this race will be as much about race as all those people out there who are hoping to have their negative worldview validated.

Remember young voters are coming out in force and young voters are generally MUCH less racist.

[butterfly77]

25. Keep it up people..

keep letting the media define the race as blacks and whites, in the long run Obama will have to keep making up excuses for everything he says some are already saying that he is going to do more for blacks than whites.

[Mass]

31. We understand it is the Clintons strategy. They are not that subtle about that. However, 1/4 of

white South Carolinians and a plurality of white men in NH were not fooled by these comments.

[Indenturedebtor]

36. Oh and

I think he will do more for blacks than whites... Perhaps not directly in policy but though I'm an Edwards supporter I think Obama would be a good pres, and by being so potentially show a lot of morons out there that black people are not inferior.

Though he probably would in policy as well. :shrug: I don't know about the rest of you but I'm of the opinion that there's nothing wrong with helping black people. They have the worst end of a bad stick in this country. When two of your friends are in quicksand who do you help first? The guy up to his head in it or the guy up to his knees? Seems lke a no brainer to me.

But yeah the media needs to get the fuck off of race already. Disgusting.

[Perky]

28. We will take it and those delgates

[joshcryer]

29. It'll be closer to a 15% win than a 30% win.

[george_maniakes]

30. you should be very clear when talking about points like this.

im understanding you to mean that obama might get branded a "black" candidate, or something to that effect. in other words your not a racist, but other people might be. thats fine, but your meaning seems so vague, for black people on this forum you could at least be more clear. Would that be asking too much?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

33. I go on the assumption people here are smart grownups and that "explaining" would be insulting but

you might be right.

[Mass]

34. I do not think the OP is worried about that. He more likely would love it.

[joshcryer]

35. If I'm interpreting the OP correctly, that would be correct.

The media would not do this, it would just be obvious to other voters, and there would be a divide.
