1. Not bad among whites, that's good to see

AND 50%!!

[tekisui]

3. That's hefty.

4. Actually, it's pretty good

among whites. And it's mind boggling in every other specific.

10. He'd be leading among whites if Edwards weren't in the race.

Edwards being from the Carolinas (NC really, but having lived awhile in SC I think), he's got a local loyalty.

[Adelante]

14. He was born in SC, I'm pretty sure

I tend to get it confused sometimes.

[TheWraith]

16. You may well be correct.

All I remember is that he was born in one, and lived in the other for awhile, NC most recently. You're probably right.

15. EXACTLY. nt

2. Yup. The 50% is impressive! (and I don't believe polls, but....)

5. Anyone seen post-Iowa Nevada polls?

[Yael]

9. The only ones I can find are from mid December

[TheWraith]

17. There aren't any. Nobody is polling Nevada, not since early December.

I guess they assume that since the Nevada Democratic party is practically owned by Harry Reid and his son, who are major Clinton backers, then it's a foregone conclusion. Still, I personally wouldn't make any assumptions.

6. I suspect this will get even more lopsided after tomorrow

After Sen Obama wins two consecutive contests, the shift will get even more pronounced. This is especially bad news for Johnny Reid Edwards, it seems to me.

7. Very impressive and I suppose after tomorrow if Obama wins

it will be even better.

8. Edward's poll numbers

I'm surprised at John Edwards numbers here. This is a state he won in 2004. If New Hampshire isn't his deathbed, if these numbers stick, South Carolina will be.

11. damn, SC is bringing down the Hammer

Gobama!!!!!

[elizm]

12. Yes, WE are! :) And I'm lovin' it. nt

13. About how I thought it would be

in SC as I stated in a few threads yesterday.

Very impressive numbers for Senator Obama
