Contrary to media spin, there are a lot of white people in SC supporting Obama, and Hispanics too!
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 10:40 PM by calteacherguy
in SC supporting Obama. I hate that race is even mentioned in this campaign, but I hate more the meme that Obama's support is only among people with more skin pigmentation than the pale faces.

Pale faces:
Clinton 37%
Edwards 34%
Obama 24%

Greater skin pigmentation:
Obama 73%
Clinton 18%
Edwards 6%

This statistic really raised my eyebrows.

Si Hablo Espanol:
Obama 53%
Clinton 17%
Edwards 9%

And finally, among humans in SC:

Obama 45%
Clinton 29%
Edwards 22%

I've broken my pledge not to post here until after the California primary, again. :banghead:

Oh yeah, and for all you wonderful Edwards supporters, he's up 7% from last week in this poll and she's down 7%. Must be the irresistable charisma off Bill Clinton, or perhaps the debate. Cheers!

6. You picked the poll that had him highest with whites
Other polls have him at 10%, 11%, and 17%. In each one he is third among whites. In all but one he is above 70% with blacks. It is obvious race is playing a factor on Saturday. Obama's swiftboating of the Clintons on race worked wonders for him in South Carolina. However, as the polling suggests, he may pay a heavy price on Super Tuesday.

15. That thread was about that poll being released, not spinning someone's low support among a race
I didn't use it to spin Edwards being at 2-5% with blacks.

bashing. Why not be honest? Oops, forgot who I was talking to.

10. If SC Latinos talked to NV & CA Latinos
He'd have cleaned up. I wonder what the diffeence is.

How is it going with your canvassing?
