2008 Presidential Race
Jan. 27th, 2008 12:08 pmOn the Democratic side:
Obama has a huge win in South Carolina, 55-27-18. This win will have a big affect on the race. Obama not only one won 4 out of every 5 African-Americans in the state, he won every age group.
The other big story was the turnout. In a very Red state, 530k voted in the Democratic primary and 446k in the Republican primary.
Caroline Kennedy has endorsed Obama, calling him “A President Like My Father”.
Again I wonder how will Florida affect Obama’s momentum? Hillary clearly thinks that she will win there, and hopefully by a significant margin, which would indeed counter in some ways Obama’s SC win.
On the Republican side:
Not much new here, the rhetoric between McCain and Romney in Florida continues.
Crist, the governor of Florida, has endorsed McCain (a severe disappointment for Giuliani).
