Agreed, but did you look at the break-down of the votes? Look at it this way....Bill won the majority of the SC black vote TWICE. Edwards won 70% of the black vote when he ran. THEN the Clinton, Edwards, and Obama runs, and Obama gets most of them ???? Come on, there is no way to spin that out of a racial voting bloc given the circumstances I've just stated above.
