Wag the Finger
Former President Bill Clinton campaigns on behalf of his wife, Hillary Clinton, in Independence, Mo., on Saturday. Of Obama's South Carolina win, he said, "He won fair and square. We went there and asked the people to vote for us. They voted for him. We congratulate him."Charlie Riedel - AP
When that finger gets going....watch out!
Obama wins in South Carolina.
Taken from Matt Lewis, South Carolina exit polls:
More from Time and CNN.Per the network/AP early exit poll results:
African-Americans: Obama 81%, Clinton 17%, Edwards 1%
African-American women: Obama 82%, Clinton 17%, Edwards 0%
Whites: Edwards 39%, Clinton 36%, Obama 24%
Edwards winning white men, Clinton white women.
I think the Clintons can't help being who they are. And with all their attacks on Obama, it turns off voters, and that may be sabotaging their presidential candidacy among Democrats.

No matter what anyone says or does it's going to be the Clintons on the democrat side. Democrat voters did what democrat voters do as a classic example, they voted identity politics. Blacks both male and female went for Obama, White women for Clintons and whote males for Edwards.
Is it true that the black vote isn't monolitic (3a: constituting a massive undifferentiated and often rigid whole; b: exhibiting or characterized by often rigidly fixed uniformity)? Just wondering
Now Wordsmith: You haven't heeded my earlier warning
So I am going to make this perfectly clear.
