Obama did't win the black vote or the white vote in S.C. he won ......
.... the Americans who were living in South Carolina vote. End of Story

I might be wrong but I can see the "evil hand" of the right wing power structure
trying to bring about racial bickering in our party. No doubt "Agent Provocateurs"
have been @ work and will continue to work the race angle. Our answer should
be we are color blind a vote is a vote and American is an American.

BTW If Edwards comes in second will he get more media play then Hillary? :sarcasm:

4. Obama is winning America, from the midwest in Iowa
to new england NH west coast in Nevada and the South in SC.

even in states he didn't come in first, he did very well.

11. I support John Edwards .... I have given money to his campaign.
But the media so wants to kill off Edwards and sell the bull shit
about how S. Carolina's vote doesn't count because blacks vote
there.

I am waiting to see how many repubs voted for Obama...
the media will try to spin it as though they are tired of Bush and voted for Obama, which is their story

17. Yeah. That Donnie McClurkin thing in South Carolina was a real boon for his candidacy.
Hatred and Exclusion: the quickest way to bipartisanship is a "straight" line.

16. Yeah, I don't recall Hillary being criticized that she can only win the white vote ...
... after her narrow win in NH.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, hasn't Obama won a sh**load of white voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada? *Anybody* framing Obama's win as only being about the color of his skin is race-baiting.
