Obama won South Carolina convincingly. He won the black vote, but also many white votes and lots of young people. I think Hillary has gotten too much "help" from Bill Clinton and soured people's good mood along the way. It's unfortunate. Bill ought to stay above the fray and remain "presidential"; thus uniting the democrats, not tearing them apart. Ultimately that would help Hillary more.
What bothers me about the primaries so far, is that I sense an undercurrent of misogyny in it. Not from Obama, but from many of the people who write and talk about the race. Hillary continues to be portrayed as somehow evil and her motives are continually questioned. She is too ambitious? What about Obama? Aren't all the candidates very ambitious? But that's expected of... men.
