If Hillary loses South Carolina and the defeat serves to demonstrate Obama's ability to attract a bloc vote among black Democrats, the message will go out loud and clear to white voters that this is a racial fight. It's one thing for polls to show, as they now do, that Obama beats Hillary among African-Americans by better than 4-to-1 and Hillary carries whites by almost 2-to-1. But most people don't read the fine print on the polls. But if blacks deliver South Carolina to Obama, everybody will know that they are bloc-voting. That will trigger a massive white backlash against Obama and will drive white voters to Hillary Clinton.I thought Democrats were the party of tolerance and inclusion. Who knew they had so many racists? Read the rest of it here.
Mickey Kaus has some thoughts on how Obama can get out of the ghetto.
UPDATE: Roland Martin of CNN notes that there seems to be a concerted effort to ignore the white Democrat voters in South Carolina. The Clintons and the Clinton-supporting media want to make South Carolina a black-vs-white election. The last thing they want is for there to be stories of white Dem voters supporting Obama in big numbers.
