All the media are calling the SC primary for Barack Obama, powered by 80% support among black voters. That's something that seemed unthinkable just weeks ago (given historic black affection for Bill Clinton). Apparently exit polls alone can't call second place between the Clintons and John "The Ferret" Edwards.
Generally, my interest in the Democratic contest has been strictly tactical -- which candidate could be defeated by the GOP and how. But the recent in-our-faces re-emergence of Bill Clinton -- blustering, , hectoring, whining, conniving -- has been truly disturbing.
Obama is an almost entirely conventional liberal, with all its dangerous implications for our economy and national security. But at least he wouldn't bring outright sociopathy back to the White House.
Forced to choose between Obama and Clinton Inc., it'd be no contest in my mind.
