    I can't speak for all Obama supporters, but I can speak for myself. This white 45 yo female who has never missed voting in an election will not vote for HRC. Ever. I watched the SC debate with the mindset of trying to listen to her objectively with the intent of maybe being able to vote for her if need be. I came away from that with my negative opinion solidified. Yes, I know that HRC supporters feel the same about Obama's performance. I think all that debate did was to make everyone sure that their candidate is "the one". I am an independant from Georgia and Obama will get my primary vote on Feb. 5.
