sc primary
I don't know what to make of all the spin on the SC primary. Seems to me that Barack Obama won in Iowa and came close in New Hampshire, two states that are vastly majority white. At one point, there were questions about whether he'd enough support from the black community; now, some are labeling him the "black" candidate because he's getting support.
I suppose Hillary Clinton supporters are latching onto whatever seems to make things look best for Hillary, and maybe that's just how it works. But if such spin is taken seriously, it seems pretty silly to me, considering how support for Obama has shaped up so far.
And I'll say this: I'm a white guy in SC, and I'm planning to vote for Obama. Most of the white Democrats that I know here (not that there are very many) seem to be leaning toward Obama, too.
