O'Bama leads Clinton in South Carolina: poll
2008-01-24
Democrat Barack Obama holds a double-digit lead on rival Hillary Clinton three days before South Carolina's presidential primary, aided by a huge edge among black voters, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

Obama leads Clinton 43 percent to 25 percent in the rolling tracking poll, with John Edwards a distant third at 15 percent heading into Saturday's contest. The poll has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points. More than half of the Democratic primary voters in South Carolina are expected to be black. Obama, an Illinois senator who would be the first black U.S. president, leads among African-Americans by 65 percent to 16 percent.

#7  South Carolina is 30% black. Blacks make up at least 50% of the Democratic party. Blacks support Obama over Clinton 2:1. That's how. Race trumps gender. Ideology also trumps gender.

#3  some lady - we think mrs obama - auto called us last night looking for a vote pledge. I swear whenever she said 'barack' it sounded like the noise a chicken makes. She woke up the baby and called during lunch - may be old hat for you all in voting matters states but out my way it just pissed me/us off. Definately lost the wife's vote who, after hillarity's antics, is looking for someone to vote for as am I since Tuesday. Electile Disfunction indeed.
