The 10% polling number:

[BenDavid]

All of a sudden there appears this one poll that is used by all networks that show obama receing only 10% of the white vote in South Caolina. Now why would this seem so important? As I sat and read and with the tv in the background I began hearing more and more reporting on this 10% white vote. Then it dawned on me that maybe the mediawhores were going to pull a fast one on those that support HRC and John Edwards.

We all have heard and read that if obama gets a large black vote from South Carolina this will hurt him nationally. I disagree because this would be saying white people are deep down bigots and would never support a black man. Talking heads repeating the same over and over about how a high black turnout for obama would actually be a loss for him.....Then it dawned on me as I wrote earlier. The mediawhores are hoping through exit polling and after the final count is in and they break it down again, the mediawhores are looking to report how great a number of whites voted for obama.If their assumption are wrong about the 10% the bigger story would not be how big a % of black people voted for Obama but how much a % Obama got of the white vote.If Obama gets anywhere in the neighborhood between 20 to 30% of the white vote, this will be the story and since the mediawhores love their obama this will be another postive for him from them....

Maybe this will not be true but then again the mediawhores should never be underestimated......So we shall see just what the story will be from "main street media"....

1. Awww...you sound a little nervous!

It's not like Hillary was winning in the polls in NV from 7-9% and when she won by 6% the "mediawhores" called it a great comeback or anything! :eyes:

2. Ben....

You get, partly.

It doesn't mater what percent of the White vote Obama gets in SC. Either way, there will be a backlash across the nation to the meme that Obama "only gets support from Blacks"...from all Americans.

And rightly so.

3. I agree...

Most Dems. are Dems. because they're more open-minded than Repubs. and seeing the Clintons and their supporters trying to paint him as unelectable/the Black candidate, there WILL be a backlash.

4. someone on msnbc said if he polls above a 10% it will be seen as a victory.
