No casinos in the entrance polls, for the record.

The entrance polls were consistent with the actual polls that have been taken. While it's hard to gauge how to poll a caucus that's never happened before, it looks like she's winning this one running away. And frankly, I think she's on the verge of wrapping up the nomination entirely.

He can afford to stay in until someone has a clear majority (namely one not based on a superdelegate lead).

again. HOW? he gets 0 delegates today. He'll likely get 0 in SC. You dont get any if you are under 15% and he has been dropping hard since NH.

He isn't a player anymore.

Yet with returns almost a third in, she has barely any lead at all. The only thing she's wrapping up is a sack lunch for tomorrow's return to the campaign trail.

I was under the, perhaps faulty, impression that he still kept the delegates he gained in the first two primos.

37.8%... Obama is winning EVERYTHING except Clark County (Vegas)

I think the 21% Yahoo is reporting is for the Republicans. Just look at the popular vote for Obama and Clinton. Those are REALLY early numbers.

Stupid Yahoo.

he does but due to his HUGE drop since NH he will likely get almost no more. Those few he has from Iowa and NH can't change anything. You need over 2,000 to win. Edwards has what, 6-7 delegates?

Due to his drop off he'll struggle to even get a handful more due to his inability to break 15%

40% in:
enator Hillary Clinton: 50.24%
Senator Barack Obama: 44.43%
Senator John Edwards: 4.98%
Uncommitted: 0.26%
Congressman Dennis Kucinich: 0.09%
Senator Mike Gravel: 0%

I love how people always talk about how they hate the way government operates and things should change...blah blah blah...Then they vote for Hillary. How about another eight years of the Clinton/Bush monarchy! YAYAYYAYAAYAYYAY!

Many Americans have fears they won't admit to. They always say they want change but ultimately fear always wins at the polls.

because she is ahead on feb 5th, by A LOT. Obama needed tons of momentum to challenge her there. If she sweeps feb 5th which looks likely now she'll have the nomination locked.

With nearly half of the precincts reporting, I can't see how Obama can make up 6% points...

Considering how SC rarely means shit in the grand scheme of things, Obama is fucked...and we as democrats are fucked with her as our candidate.

Yeah, it's holding steady at a 4% lead now. Thinking that these squeak-out victories are going to secure her the guaranteed nomination just doesn't make sense to me.

She'll come out of it the winner, the media will focus on her as the come-from-behind champ, the new frontrunner, the inevitable victory over the almost-but-not-quite Obama. Or something like that.

Because squeeking victories > obama's delegates. As shown Edwards isnt the king maker people hoped for. After NH his support fell apart he is not meeting the delegate threshold in Nevada or SC (in polling) nor any of the big feb 5th states.

Oh and momentum of course. Momentum determines everything.

....as long as they take their knives away from them.

I hope Hillary doesn't win. She has her husband campaigning for her in Vegas. People need to remember that this isn't BILL Clinton they're voting for -- it's Hillary.

I expect if Obama wins another state, we'll see her cry again.
