Clintonian Waterloo in Dixie?
Filed under: US Elections
Well, women came out in droves to vote in South Carolina's Democratic presidential primary . . . and they voted for Barack Obama in droves. Looks like Operation Oprah is paying dividends big time.CNN says female turnout was 50% higher than it had been in the Republican primary a week earlier, and Clinton got clobbered, collecting less than a third of the vote, barely more than John Edwards, while Obama seized a majority. African-Americans also turned out en masse, comprising over half the electorate and going 75% for Obama.
Hmmm . . . when Republicans can't pick a nominee right away, apparently that's a sign of weakness. So that must mean . . .
The Daily Kos is crowing that a new national Rasmussen poll shows Obama, their preferred candidate (isn't this disqualification enough?), drawing to within 3 points of Hillary. Dissent is in the ranks. One Kozniak writes: "I left this adolecent [sic] crowd a long time ago, and now I am sick of reading the diaries of Edwards and Obama supporters 'outroving' Karl Rove in their witless atttacks [sic] on Hillary and Bill Clinton."
