CNN just announced Obama is projected to win SC, based on exit polls!
Astronuc said:http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#val=SC
With 23% of precincts reporting
Obama 53%
Clinton 27%
Edwards 20%
If it stays like that, it's a big win.
Meanwhile, Governor of Florida endorses McCain. That could tip the race to McCain in Florida.
And - New York Times endorses Clinton, backs McCain over Giuliani
:rofl: It might impress some moderates.BobG said:That New York Times endorsement will be a real big help to McCain. Why didn't they just hand him a gun to shoot himself with?

Yes, take a look if you can at today's letter's to the Times re their McCain endorsement. Much gnashing of teeth that the Times would even acknowledge the existence of Republicans.Astronuc said::rofl: It might impress some moderates.

Where was this teeth-gnashing when they hired Kristol last month?Daniel Barenholtz in the NYT Letters to the Editor said:The New York Times’s editorial page endorsing a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination is a bit like the Hatfields recommending a leader for the McCoys.
Didn't get to look. There must have been some, no?Gokul43201 said:Where was this teeth-gnashing when they hired Kristol last month?

Congress cut the HE physics funding.G01 said:This is great news! Obama is one of the people fighting to reverse the funding cut in high energy physics. And, what a victory speech from Obama. Very moving and optimistic.
mheslep said:Congress cut the HE physics funding.
G01 said:Obama is one of the people fighting to reverse the funding cut in high energy physics.
Both statements are true, and they do not contradict one another.mheslep said:Congress cut the HE physics funding.
Argonne National Lab, also in Illinois, is affected by the reduced funding as well.G01 said:What I meant was that he is fighting to provide more money to the field in the 2009 budget. Being from Illinois, Obama felt the affect the new budget had on Fermilab. I'm sure this was a great impetus for him to support new funding for HE Physics.

"I've found that candidate. And it looks to me like you have too,"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22867407/page/4/Caroline Kennedy said:"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president--not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans." Barack Obama.
Obama was projected to win South Carolina based on exit polls and early vote counts. These projections are made by analyzing data from sampled precincts and comparing it to historical trends and demographics.
The projections for election results are made by a team of pollsters, statisticians, and political experts. They analyze data from various sources and use algorithms to make predictions.
These projections are generally accurate, but they are not always 100% accurate. They are based on statistical analysis and can be affected by unforeseen events or changes in voter behavior.
South Carolina is an important state in the election because it is one of the early primary states and can influence the momentum and perception of a candidate. It also has a diverse population and serves as a test for a candidate's appeal to different demographics.
This projection can have a significant impact on the overall election as it shows Obama's strong support in a key state and can influence the decisions of voters in future primaries. It can also affect the narrative and media coverage of the election, potentially giving Obama a boost in momentum.
