The South Carolina results are in. Barack Obama has obtained 55% of the votes in a three-way race. In his victory speech, [1] Obama eloquently scolded the Clintons for their divisive politics. This criticism becomes evident at the five minute mark and crescendos at about the nine minute mark.
Andrew Sullivan [2] analyzes some of the South Carolina numbers:
Obama won 52 percent of the non-black vote under 30. Among the over-60s, he won a mere 15 percent of the non-black vote. The legacy is racism is clearly dying. Then this: Obama won every demographic among the religiously observant. And the more devout they are – judging by their church attendance – the better he did.
Interesting stuff.
