Ben Solomon Carson Ben - Benghazi Solomon - What was buried under Solomon's Temple? Carson - Ft. Carson is an army post located right next to Cheyenne Mountain, where N.O.R.A.D. is, it's an above top secret area, highly guarded by special operations, and is located under 2,000 feet of granite. What is really buried underneath NORAD? Or should I say, Ben "Solomon"'s temple? The answer starts with an ancient found in Benghazi.

Hard to tell if this benefits Clinton or Sanders though- Clinton campaign put huge focus in Charleston. A lot of smaller counties are reporting similar to 2008 turnout too.

since most of the delegates are handed out to the congressional district winners, i wonder what the spread between the gerrymandered district with the concentrated black population and the other ones will be the gerrymander diluted non-trump votes in a sea of rural trump supporters in the republican primary - a more reasonable charleston county-based seat might've given rubio 3 delegates since it was the only county he won, and he came fairly close in heavily gerrymandered richland county (columbia) too SC-01 is the gerrymandered charleston county district (it's got hilton head too) which i believe has the black areas like north charleston cut out of it so considering vague reports of possible high turnout in charleston maybe bernie could win that. i wonder if we'd see him win any of the other whiter districts?

oystertoadfish posted:since most of the delegates are handed out to the congressional district winners, i wonder what the spread between the gerrymandered district with the concentrated black population and the other ones will be Three things: There just aren't that many white people in the South Carolina Democratic electorate - even the whitest district will have >40% black voters. If Clinton wins those 3-1, it's hard for Bernie to come out on top in a district. Delegates allocations vary by district. The districts with more Dem voters have more delegates - SC-3 is 19% black and has 3 delegates, SC-6 is 57% black and has 8 delegates. Delegates aren't awarded to the *winner* of the district, they're awarded proportionally. The difference between winning and losing SC-3 is the difference between a 2-1 split and a 1-2 split, while Clinton will be running up the score in SC-6 and looking at either a 5-3 or 6-2 delegate split in that district alone.

At this point its looking like he may not win a county but we'll see. Everything I'm seeing shows Clinton outperforming everywhere. I am wrong a lot though.

quote:Clinton isn’t having as many problems on the honesty front as she’s seen elsewhere. More South Carolina voters think Clinton is honest than say so about Sanders – more than seven in 10 in her case vs. more than six in 10 in his. In New Hampshire, by contrast, twice as many saw Sanders as trustworthy than said so about Clinton. quote:Voters under 30, an overwhelmingly strong group for Sanders in earlier contests, account for slightly more than one in 10 South Carolina voters in preliminary exit poll results. That could end up as a new low this cycle; under-30s accounted for 18 or 19 percent in the three previous states, with more than eight in 10 voting for Sanders. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-south-carolina-democratic-primary-exit-poll-analysis/story?id=37241467

i guess south carolina's conservative whites flipped D to R earlier than many other southern states, but how much do you think the continuation of that process has contributed to blacks being a larger share of the democratic vote share in 2016 than in 2008? the other explanation, i suppose, would be an enthusiasm gap between black and white democratic voters edit: ok if this is an open primary then a big part would be so many of the white folks choosing the trump primary instead of this one. nate cohn's point above basically oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 23:21 on Feb 27, 2016 |

Crain posted:I can't wait to see how /r/sandersforpresident handles this. Thank you very much. Thank you South Carolina for the extraordinary support that we have received today. You know five weeks ago we were 40 points behind in the polls. And we have made some real progress. A little while ago I called up Secretary Clinton and congratulated her and her staff for her victory here in South Carolina. They ran a very aggressive and effective campaign. And I applaud them for their efforts. What this entire campaign has been about is the issue of momentum. It’s the issue of bringing more and more people into the political process. When we began in Iowa, we were 50 points behind. When we began in New Hampshire, we were 30 points behind. And we were way behind here in South Carolina. But what I think is happening is that as people hear our message — and it is a tough message — because it speaks about the truth of the American society today that a lot of people just don’t want to address. And that is the fact that we have a corrupt campaign finance system which is undermining American democracy and must be changed. We will not allow billionaires and their super PACS to continue to buy elections in the United States of America. And the American people are catching on that we have a rigged economy. Ordinary people, working people, working two or three jobs longer and longer hours. And almost all new income going to the top one percent. And together we are going to create an economy that works for all of us and not just the top 1%. And the American people are catching on that we have a broken criminal justice system. A system today that says some kid in South Carolina or Vermont gets picked up with some marijuana, that kid will have a police record staying with him his entire life. But if you are a Wall Street executive and your illegal behavior destroys the economy and lives of millions of people, somehow nothing happens to you. And our job is to bring justice back to the criminal justice system. I want to thank all of our supporters here in South Carolina. I want to thank our thousands of volunteers including many of you for working tirelessly. I want to thank our staff for the great job that they have done. I am especially proud, that here in South Carolina and we are seeing this all over this country, we are bringing working people and young people into the political process in a way we have not seen in a very long time. In a short while I will be on a plane to Massachusetts and then we are going to be competing in eleven states all across this country on Super Tuesday. And I believe, I believe that on Super Tuesday we have got an excellent chance to win many of those states. But I also know that on Super Tuesday and before, we are going to be taking on a very powerful and well-funded super PAC, a super PAC that receives a significant amount of money from Wall Street and wealthy special interests. So as we head to Super Tuesday, we would very much appreciate the help of the American people, who have been so kind and generous. We have received at this point over 3.7 million individual contributions. And if people want to help us out they can do that at BernieSanders.com. Lastly as I think everyone knows, taking on the establishment, whether it is the financial establishment, whether it is the political establishment, whether it is the media establishment is not easy. We have come a very long way in nine months. It is clear to me and I think to most observers that the wind is at our backs. We have the momentum. And I believe, I believe that when democrats assemble in Philadelphia in July at that convention we are going to see the results of one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States. So South Carolina, our volunteers, our supporters, our staff, thank you all very much. And now it is on to Super Tuesday. Thank you!

jeb was by far the best candidate on the baby hitler issue, one-issue baby hitler voters may just sit this one out i guess almost all of the southern super tuesday primaries are open primaries, huh? could be a good deal of voters going to the trump show, and south carolina preliminary exit polls seem to be indicating that this might make the southern democratic primaries even more heavily black than anticipated. which all seems like great news for clinton if this low youth turnout story persists as we get more data, i wonder how much of that's because of staying home and how much is from choosing to vote in the gop primary
