Exit polls indicate a "very large turnout" among African-American voters
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 06:23 PM by jefferson_dem
6:11 pm: EXIT POLL INFO: Preliminary exit poll results indicate what our smart people are calling a "very large turnout" among African-American voters -- definitely more than 50 percent of voters in South Carolina are black, according to the early numbers, compared to 47 percent in 2004, and 43 percent in 1992. There's also heavy turnout among female voters, who are making up about 6 in 10 S.C. voters.

From ABC polling director Gary Langer: "Two groups that have been heavily courted in the run-up to today's South Carolina Democratic primary – women and African-Americans – are turning out in large numbers today. Preliminary exit poll results indicate that just over half are blacks this year; if that holds in final data later tonight, it would be the highest turnout among African-Americans in any Democratic presidential primary at least since 1984."

2. I'd love to see that happen in the general election.
It would help in at least a half dozen important states.

4. Sounds like an Edwards romp, then.
:eyes:

Fuck categorization (It's a way to keep you down, whatever your category). New headline:


"Lots of folks voted."
