South Carolina Democratic Primary Results


Obama Wins Huge

Democrats went out to vote yesterday in South Carolina. They chose Barack Obama by a huge margin. Hillary Clinton came in second and John Edwards in third. Here are the numbers:

  1. Obama: 55%
  2. Clinton: 27%
  3. Edwards: 18%

This was a big win for Obama, as he now gains momentum going into Super Tuesday on Feb. 5th. It should be interesting what happens based on this win. Many expected him to win, however I believe the strength of his victory was what surprised a lot of people.

Some wonder how much race had to do with this primary contest. Interesting enough Obama won the African American vote huge, and actually Edwards won the vote from white voters. It was a very interesting day in South Carolina, and it is going to only get more fun from here.
