It's around 50 degrees there so weather is not a problem and they are reporting that turn out is high. The leaves me ponering something. Last week they had snow during the Republican primaries - a weather anomaly in South Carolina. Doesn't that make it seem like God doesn't want Republicans to vote?
OK onto more serious things. I will have the election tracker up around 7:00pm est, which is when the polls close, so be sure to check back and you can track the results.

Bill Clinton is the master of illusionary politics, first he divides the party for political gains then he unites it for political crowning as a result South Carolina will prove out his tactics for dividing the party.
The press made so much out of the fact that Obama received 55 percent of the vote but what lies underneath is a Bill Clinton contrived division – 44 percent of Obama's total vote in South Carolina were black votes (55 percent of the voters were black times 80 percent of the black vote) which left him with only 11 percent of the white vote, this is a huge.
On Super Tuesday where 20 percent of the voters are black the news media again will be shocked by how much the polarizing nature of Bill Clinton’s remarks has helped Hillary and hurt Obama. Edwards is the third person out. On Super Tuesday Edwards will receive less than 5 percent of the vote because of Bill Clinton’s master of divisionary tactics.
I like what Obama says. Moreso than probably any other candidate except Ron Paul, who says the right things, but so poorly. It may be noted that I am a white man that could care less about race. A black President is an inevitability that is historical but peripheral. My problem with Obama is his very short resume. He's done some exceptional things, including his involvement in Non-Proliferation efforts, but for a very short time. Maybe that means he hasn't been "gotten to" yet, but it also means that he has been rarely under fire even close to the extent that a President is daily. A Republican strategist in a Rolling Stone interview said he likened Obama "to a really good minor league pitcher that gets called up and find himself pitching game 7 of the World Series". That's a pretty accurat depiction.
My problem is, alas, I again find myself not being "for" anyone, but trying decide who I am against least.
