9. I give NH to "emotion", plus Bill.
Anyway, he'll be in the back seat now.

4. This has nothing to do with Bill Clinton. She was never going to win SC.

13. that's absurd. Up until a little over a month ago she was way ahead
in SC. Revisionist history sucks.

6. South Carolina has just never liked Bill Clinton
I remember the 92 campaign when he showed up there to a NASCAR race and he was booed; an airplane flew over the event with a message that said "no draft dodger".

16. I'd have to check to be absolutely certain but I believe they DID support a
draft dodger twice in the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Perhaps they collectively "misspoke".

20. Bush wasn't a draft dodger, he was a national guard deserter

12. The African American electorate certainly sent a message.
And they supported Obama over Clinton, overwhelmingly. Apparently they support his message over the Clintons'. I find this significant.

15. And a fair number of whites too.
24% is nothing to scoff at.

I just think it's interesting because African Americans as a constituency had previously supported the Clintons and now apparently do not.

18. Think I'll wait for the actual non-white turnout before my own analysis....
There are 629,000 registered non-whites. I want to find out how many of them showed up. The exit polls say Obama got 81% of the votes cast. And Bill Clinton didn't fire up the non-whites to turn-out. They were coming anyway.
