Obama, BarackThe results will automatically update in your browser as new results come in. This is something I am testing out, so please let me know how it works.
UPDATE 7:00:
With 0% reporting MSNBC is now declaring Obama the winner.
7:02:
CNN is also calling it for Obama (the results in the tracker come from CNN which is why the green projected winner arrow is now next to Obama's name).
7:06:
AP and Fox calling it for Obama - still 0% reporting.
7:08:
CBS calls it for Obama
7:10:
Washington Post calling it for Obama
7:20
ABC Calling it for Obama.
Obama is scheduled to give victory speech at 9:00pm EST.
7:40:
MSNBC projects Clinton to come in second.
7:45
CNN projects Clinton will come in second.
UPDATE 8:40:
Just playing with some numbers here. In the Republican primary there were 442,918 votes cast. With 67% of the precincts reporting the Democrats have already had 338,195 votes recorded. This shows that today's turnout will best last weeks turnout. Considering SC is a pretty red state that is bad news for the GOP.

From 2 white New Yorkers
Hint: Hillary is our (nightmare) senator.
TAKE THAT HILLARY!
Buh-bye,
The New Yorkas
You two white New Yorkers are probably from the once Republican strongholds of Nassau or Suffolk Counties. You would never vote for Barack in a million years. You also would never vote for a woman. Take that losers.
Obama?????
"Obama-Nation"
AMERICA TOOK A 360 TURN YESTERDAY.........SAD FOR AMERICA, RETURNING TO THE DARK OLD DAYS
make that 180.
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY EVRYTHING OBAMA DOES IS ABOVE COMMENT- HE'S ALWAYS PERFECT AND THE CLINTONS ARE ALWAYS THE BAD GUYS
I HAE REVIEWED EVERY COMMENT AND VIDEO AND FOUND NOTHING DISTATETFUL ABOUT WHAT BILL CLINTON SAID
YOU CAN READ INTO IT ALL YOU WANT
WHEN OBAMA ATTACHED HILLARY ABOUT WALMART WHICH WAS THE 1ST ATTACK -WHY WAS IT WRONG FOR HER TO BRING UP REZKO WHO BY THE WAY HAS HAD A LONG RELATIONSIP WITH OBAMA AND DONATED PLENTY OF DOLLARS WHICH NOW OBAMA IS BACKTRACKING AND TRYING TO DONATE-AGAIN HE'S PERFECT-
BY THE BY IF YOU KEEP USING THE TERM AFRO-AMERICAN WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A DIVIDE IN THIS COUNTRY
SHOULD WE ALL REFER TO OURSELVES AS POLISH AMERICANS- RUSSIAN AMERICANS-KOREAN AMERICANS..... OR JUST AMERICANS??????????????????

A good win for democracy. Hillary Clinton is the best chance for republicans to win the presidential election. She has no charisma or leadership qualities. She only got elected because of her husband and not because of her own merits. She has none. Hillary Rodham couldn't get elected dogcatcher in New York. She is a sham without Bill propping her up. She is a polarizing figure. look at how many democrats can't stand her. Look at the numbers. She only gets a huge amount of support from voters over 60. And even then she still loses the black vote. Younger voters, the future of the democratic party overwhelmingly chose Obama. He is the future, the clintons time is over. Let's harness the fervor of young voters and ride Obama's movement back to the presidency!
How do either of the candidates represent themselves on the major issues?
Websites like the one listed below could ultimately determine why more and more Democrats will defect to John McCain's camp.
Unfortunately, there is little about Obama that a website like this says that can be argued with...that is, unless you've flunked Philosphy 101 in college or never got to college in the first place.

What can be done?
Sooner or later all of us have to reckon with our consience and our higher intellectual powers and when this happens we are invariably forced to choose between our higher principles or a particular candidate.
Which candidate is traveling down the wrong road with this?
Which do you think is going to win out?
Our higher principles or the physical attributes of a particular candidate?
Predictably, older voters will vote in favor of their 'principles'...obviously, because they are more concerned about what happens after death and the legacy they will leave behind.
The younger voters in contrast, since they have more time left in life to recant, are more likely to be reckless and prograstinate with principle in favor of 'idealism'. These are the young and youthful voters that Obama appeals to and also why a lot of us older folks see Obama as 'the Pied Piper of the niave'.
However, (which is the next question to beg itself): 'When does Barack's own conscience begin to bother him?'
Personally, I think Obama needs to start thinking about what he can do to 'remake' his image if he wants to win this election.
I'm not sure that he'll want to be that person he's beginning to look like against John McCain...who today represents everything that America stands for.
BUT, if Obama thinks he can win going the way he's headed, then let him go for it.
But, as for me and many like me who still sit on the fence until election time in November, we'll still be thinking that we'll have to live with ourselves long after this election is over in November and maybe these are the thoughts that the new young voters haven't considered yet...and there's still a lot that can happen between now and November...
And, this probably means that Obama faces a huge political swamp ahead...one that he has created for himself.
