Edwards won the white vote and a healthy bag of delegates

[jackson_dem]

If he can do this well among whites, improve slightly among blacks, continue to run even with Obama among Latinos he will have a good Super Tuesday. This is not over by a longshot. He is in North Dakota today. Have Obama or Hillary went to that small state? Edwards has a good chance to win a state or two, perhaps even more if he catches some fire and/or Obama and Hill keep fighting, on Super Tuesday. No one can run a full campaign in all Super Tuesday states. They will all compete in the big states and then target a few small states. Places like Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and North Dakota are good opportunities for Edwards. My point: all is not lost. Let's look at the positive tonight and continue battling Edwardians! :bounce:

1. Thanks! k&rI

2. exit poll Edwards and Clinton split white vote

38% to 38%

[jackson_dem]

3. Other exit polls have Edwards winning it

Whatever. Whether he tied or beat a celebrity candidate with $100 million by two or three points is irrelevant. The point is there is reason to hope Edwards can build on tonight on Super Tuesday.

6. 39% to 36% in the one I saw. n/t

12. I'm supporting Edwards I was hoping he would pull second

I'm saddened he didn't break 20%.
But I'm still supporting him as long as he's running

5. to me it really is not a big surprise Edwards didn't win SC

I do wished he had placed 2nd, but I did not expect that either. Onward and Upward.....:)
He is coming to my state Monday, but I have to work....I really wish I could go...


Keep going John, We still love you.....We still support you......We know you are fighting for us.......We are still fighting for you.....

7. And he got 1% of the black vote

[jackson_dem]

15. Maybe he should have played the race card like Obama and gotten 81% of the white vote

:eyes:

It is better to lose with honor than to win with pathetic tactics like the race card.

8. Yikes, I hate this "race" based voting analysis.

I'm an Edwards supporter, but Obama won half of "the white vote" and most of the "human vote" in SC which is huge a credit to him. This race is not about race.

[jackson_dem]

13. No. Obama came in third among whites. He won over 80% of black votes to secure him the win

[mzmolly]

16. I have heard differently on MSNBC. As I've said, what matters the "human" vote.

eom

[jackson_dem]

18. Bullshit

Race mattered big fucking time in SC.

[mzmolly]

21. Obama inspired massive turnout. I'm sorry if that displeases you.

I, on the other hand, consider that a strength.

> Exit polls: Obama won across demographic lines

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/26/sc.exit.polls/

I was incorrect in saying that Obama got 50% of the total white vote, as that figure was among "younger" white voters. However, ranting about race in this "race" is counter productive.

9. Thanks, I neede that!

:)

10. Edwards gets almost no black votes at all

Around 2% or 3%.

11. encouraging news.

14. Obama won whites in Iowa and did well in NH and won under 30 in SC

[avaistheone1]

17. There were lots of Republicans voting for Obama in Iowa (something about ethanol), and

New Hampshire is a conservative state on its way to being blue.

22. Where is Obama's "racism?"

Got a quote? As a fellow Edwards supporter, I find your tone offensive.
