So, Hillary has left South Carolina, conceding it to Obama, because, while she managed to line up all of the major African-American leadership in the state, she is still going to lose it by a long shot. Just as black voters chose “uncommitted” instead of Hillary in Michigan, where Obama wasn’t on the ballot, they will choose the black candidate over the establishment white candidate in South Carolina. The smart money says that the Democratic race will be entirely about race. Billary will happily cede the black vote to Obama, to gain a white vote that will fall into place as the contest boils down to race. You can read my piece on this here, or Dick Morris’s piece, which authoritatively confirms my theory here. Or, maybe you heard Rush explain it this afternoon. I am rarely in such good company.
