Jack and Jill Politics: Obama Ba-Rocks Clinton Out of South Carolina 55-27-18

    Bill spoke for 75 minutes tonight, before Hillary spoke. Boring. I can't believe he is still awake.

    BTW, Bill, you are facing a pro. Jesse didn't have the money and professional help, and knew he wasn't going to see 1600 Pennsylvania. Thanks to Jesse, Carole Moseley Brown, and Shirley Chisolm, Obama doesn't have to deal with the novelty question and can go straight to competitiveness.

    Thanks, Bill, for helping to clarify whether the Clinton team is pushing racial polarization by trying to label Obama as "the black candidate" (i.e. doesn't represent white people or Hispanics). Makes it easier to criticize you now without any nagging doubts in the back of my mind!

    The more he speaks the more I regret voting for him. And if he thinks he can say whatever he wants with impunity because folks like Andrew Young and John Lewis are supporting Hillary, he's mistaken.

    Actually I was hoping that Bill would stay out on the campaign trail, because as long as he's talking voters are reminded of why they don't want the Clintons.


    Both Clintons are polarizing, partisan figures who just by their very nature of lies and deceit force people into the uncomfortable decision of making choices they don't like to make.



    Americans want to fall in love with a candidate, we want to respect and admire those that are running for the presidency…and that in my view is what's missing with them.



    It's always “us verses them politics” with the Clintons...and that can be very tiring. People are tiered of providing cover for their destructive brand of politics. Their tiered of the race baiting and code words that only serves to devide Americans along racial lines, and I sense they really want a change.

    It is now time for folkjs to stop buying into and repeating the canard that there is a generational divide in the black electorate. There is a divide to be sure but it was never generational.

    Hilary and her man are just pathetic, and, are nothing short of pander's who will stop to the lowest level, race baiting for her to get the nomination and head on off to a royal beat down in November since she is way too divisive to ever be elected President, she turned out the black vote in volumes in SC, just wait until the republics vote in November against her. Now, she is on to Cali for the "white" Latin vote, I wonder if they will use the same smear tactics they used in Nevada. They know there is a discord and total disconnect between blacks and Hispanics, and, are more than happy to use it. Too bad she and her staff are unawre that blacks out vote Hispanics in the main eletion, and, there are more black voters. Just disgusting, and, it shows she has neither the character nor moral backbone to be anything other than whatever she does in DC, which is work for the GOP and the rich. Hopefully this year will be the start of the end of both Clinton's.


    And, this win was sweet as Obama didn't dance with the crooks that run SC politics, did it the old fashioned, got out with grass roots and the people to hear what they had to say.

    This is the full blow-by-blow on the precinct we were covering (the one in the WSJ). The significance of this race for South Carolina's future politics can't be understated. If the state Dems have their acts together, this state is turning purple in the next few years. And more importantly, black voters will no longer be under the thumb of local "leaders."
