Now going into Super Tuesday Obama has the momentum going in. Even before the polls closed, Clinton and Edwards was already driving off in the sunset one to Tennessee another to Georgia. Florida is Tuesday, most likely it looks as if Clinton is winning Florida. Will this hurt her in Florida we will have to find out tomorrow.<br /><br />How Barack Obama Won South Carolina;<br />81% black vote<br />25% White Vote<br />80% black men<br />82% Black Women<br />27% White Men<br />22% White Women<br /><br /><b>2258 of 2259 Precincts Reporting - 99%</b><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://org.ntnu.no/tssg/web/grafikk/small-check-mark.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 15px; height: 7px;" src="http://org.ntnu.no/tssg/web/grafikk/small-check-mark.jpeg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Obama 55% (25)<br />Clinton 27% (12)<br />Edwards 18% (8)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I will be the first in the nation to Project Hilary Clinton to finish second to Barack Obama in South Carolina!<br /><br /><br /><br />The number of delegates won is in the (,). Obama get the majority of them, but still trail Clinton in total delegates by 78 with Super Tuesday in a little over a week from Tuesday. It is gonna get crazy before the dust has settled. Hope to join you again when we talk about the Republicans in Florida. Democrats are also there, but none of the Top 3 Candidates are going to Florida due to them holding the Primary before Feb. 5th. Good night and God Bless America!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5091116771841105419-3216692996972852479?l=electionnews2008beyond.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thomas Stokeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05600256764524706536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091116771841105419.post-40842269742631838122008-01-26T09:23:00.000-08:002008-01-26T16:00:50.580-08:0011:40 AM EST As the day begins CNN displays in a new exit poll that Barack Obama is ahead by 15%. Will this be enough to take South Carolina, and kill Clinton's momentum that she has?<br /><br />5:40 PM EST With a little over a hour till the polls close it looks as if the South Carolina Primary this year will have the most people to vote in the primary ever! That is still with a hour and twenty minutes till polls close. Right now John Edwards and Hilary Clinton looks like they will be fighting for second place, as Barack looks as if he is the front runner to win South Carolina. This fact is based upon the info I have heard all day on CNN, FOX News, and many other news sites.<br /><br />6:26 PM EST Still waiting for votes to come in. Should come in at any time.<br /><br />6:57 PM EST Only three minutes to polls close. Even before the results are in! CNN is projecting Barack Obama will win South Carolina!<br /><br />Tune it all day for up to the minute news of the South Carolina Primary!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5091116771841105419-4084226974263183812?l=electionnews2008beyond.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thomas Stokeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05600256764524706536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091116771841105419.post-25707748942072097402008-01-25T19:01:00.000-08:002008-01-25T19:03:09.147-08:00LIVE South Carolina Coverage Tomorrow!<br /><br />Don't forgot to check my blog for almost up to date standings as it happens!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5091116771841105419-2570774894207209740?l=electionnews2008beyond.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thomas Stokeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05600256764524706536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091116771841105419.post-77058616158683714392008-01-23T13:53:00.000-08:002008-01-23T14:18:36.742-08:00After Fred Thompson(Sen. TN, and <span style="font-style: italic;">Law &amp; Order</span>) dropped out of the GOP running, I asked my self. Who is Next? First thought was Ron Paul, he hasn't won a state yet, but did get his best finish just this weekend in Nevada. Ron finished second to Mitt Romney by 37%. Ron also won a county in Nevada, Mitt won the rest.<br /><br />After Ron Paul I thought, who else could be dropping out before Super Tuesday. I don't think anyone on the Democratic side will drop out. So it will most likely be a couple of more Republicans. Two people, after Ron Paul, came to mind. Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee.<br />Mike did win Iowa, but after doing bad in New Hampshire(3rd) and Michigan(3rd). It seems as if he is running low on money. Mike told the Houston Chronicle "I don't want to pull out of Florida yet, We have not come to the conclusion that Florida is out of play."<br /><br />Now onto Rudy. Rudy skipped the first states to focus on Florida, where until last week he was winning. Rudy was passed up last week by South Carolina winner John McCain. This MUST be the WORSE campaign management in years. You don't just skip 6 states. That is where you get momentum going into the rest of the nation. Why would anyone skip the first six states. That puts you behind in funding, and resources going into the big states this month, and Feb 5th.<br /><br />So I end this with a question the readers of the blog,<br /><br />If you were running for the nomination of one of the two parties would you have skipped six states to focus on the big states, and Super Tuesday?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5091116771841105419-7705861615868371439?l=electionnews2008beyond.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thomas Stokeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05600256764524706536noreply@blogger.com1
