Comment: Sometimes this site give a bad name to Black journalists. Where are the actually stats??? This was a landslide NOT just a victory. It's the biggest victory of the primary season thus far on either side.
For the record:
Senator Obama won all but 2 counties in SC, effectively winning the entire state.
Senator Obama victory is almost a 3 to 1 ratio over Senator Clinton, more than double her vote.
Senator Obama equaled Senator Clinton among White male voters.
Senator Obama won 49% of White voters 18-29, which is almost equal to Senators Clinton and Edwards combined.
Senator Obama won among EVERY age group except those over 65.
Senator Obama won more votes than Senators Clinton and Edwards combined.
Senator Obama won more votes than Senators McCain and Governor Huckabee combined.
Senator Obama was just shy of setting the record for the larges primary win in SC history, 2nd only to Bush in 2000.
I don't know if eurweb is shilling for the Clintons, but don't do minimize what this man has accomplished tonight.

Comment: One last FACT: Black voter turnout was DOUBLE the turnout in 2004. So it was a victory for African American suffrage as well! Now it's time for the rest of Black America to turnout and make history on Feb 5th all across the country!

Comment: That's how we do it in the South!!! I really had my doubts about Obama winning South Kakk especially the white vote but, I'm not surprised either. I use to live in North Carolina,
can not tell you how many white folks in that area have a half black child, grandchild, niece, nephew, and /or cousin that they love very much. YT looks at Obama and sees their own flesh and blood. When Barack and Michelle take the stage, and to see the love that he obviously has for her and how proud she is of him - it brings joy to my heart!!

Comment: Im elated for lots of reasons
1. Spank that pink yt azz +...the Clintons that is
2. Black folks are unifying
3. Obama is changing peoples hearts and minds
4. There are young people of all hues...peole from all walks of life who still believe and hope...
However,
1. They are going to use this to make Obama "the Black candidate," lready, supposedly his white supporters are decreasing
2. Other southern states are not reflective of SC

Comment: Khufu, Yes! The Ole SOUTH is still in full effect because yesterday as I made my Saturday morning trek to the grocery store here in Northwest Louisiana, a caravan of Mardi Gras revelers with well place HUGE "Confederate flags" blew proudly and boldly in the rainy and cold weather(we have a black mayor and a black police chief but that still does not mean a darn thing because they have no power.In fact, they are powerless!)While I applaud Baracks victorious win in South Carolina, I know the Clintons will pull out Bill's Klan suit and Rebel flag to defeat Obama in the Fall.Well, maybe I still have some optimism yet.Maybe just a GLIMMER OF hope!America is hopeless!

also keep in mind, that the perentage of white votes he got, although small in number in SC, contributed to his win.....

Comment: Early in the week the press were trying to make out Clinton had a strong chance of winning SC because of the love black folks show her husband -a la first 'black' president. What they failed to understand is we supported Clinton cos he was the closest thing to a black candidate. Now there's the real thing, there was no way folks weren't going to come out in record numbers to support Obama.

Comment: On the news they showed an elderly black woman at the poll station saying she had waited her whole life for this moment and that she was so proud of Barack. She was beaming with pride like he was her grandson or something. It was pretty emotional. For all the TV pundits asking is Obama black enough? SC answered that question. One last thing if anyone tries to label him the 'black candidate', he continue to refer them to the Iowa and SC youth vote stats. Obama still has his mainstream appeal.

Comment: HRC has 182 superdelegates counted and/or pledged so far, compared to 89 for BHO, 20 of those from his home state of IL. HRC has 50 from NY and NJ and 20 from CA. She can 'cash in' on her electability and political favors to ensure her nomination. It isn't just the south that Obama needs. He needs enough delegate votes from enough states so that once those superdelegates come rolling in for her, it is already a done deal.
Please don't be fooled into thinking that because the crumbs are better in the north and west that the song isn't the same as in the south. I would rather SEE the confederate flag than guess about it.

Comment: OBAMA brings hope like Martin Luther King, Jr., for all people! Let's put him office! For pundits...there's always that thing there they did with Clinton...impeachment. His 1/2 white and 1/2 black racial background is what the lord has put before us. What's that quote: What God has for me...no man will prosper who messes with that!

Comment: Obama won so strong, it made me cry. 155,000 MORE BLACK FOLK CAME OUT TO VOTE. 155,000. I couldn't be more proud of our Brothers and Sisters in South Carolina. They came and represented.

Comment: My main concern was will WE support him or be fooled by Bill Clinton’s ‘I feel your pain’ bullshyt. I am SO glad 78% of us voted for him. It shows that we finally know how to fight back when we’ve been insulted. For Bill to say the things he said about one of our own is unacceptable. No other x-president in history has been stomping the pavement for a candidate the way Bill Clinton has. Not even George Bush's father campaigned the way Bill has. As one commentator said it’s undiginfied and inappropriate - and for him to take the swipes he took at Obama was foul. Even that minister told him to chill out to which Bill responded ‘I am chilled’. I guess he is now that his pasty wife got whopped. Good for both of them. First she cries like a little bytch then she lets her husband go out and verbally beat up on the competitiion. She should stand on her own the way Obama is. That 24% of the white vote he got should get boosted now that Caroline Kennedy endoresed him and Ted Kennedy's endorsement is expected today. God is with him.
