The South Carolina Primary is today. It is, at least in theory, Joe "the hairsniffer" Biden's firewall. It is believed by many that Crazy Bernie will get very little traction with the large Black population in S. C. and that Joe's long track record with Black voters, combined with his constantly sucking up to Obama, will get him a solid win. He needs it badly. If he doesn't pull it off he will be hurting, both electorally and financially.
Most polling is still showing Crazy Bernie with a large lead in national numbers, but we do not elect presidents nationally. The smart money is still saying that Joe will get a convincing win in S.C. and thereby resuscitate his campaign, which is damn near on life support.
Of course Super Tuesday, on March 3, is another story altogether. It is expected that Crazy Bernie will do very, very well in CA and fairly solid in Texas and North Carolina as well. It is, after all, fairly hard to run against Santa Claus. Free Shit For Everybody has a very strong appeal.
It will also be very interesting to see how much of the election Bloomie will be able to buy for himself on Tuesday. My guess, for what my guess may be worth to you, is that the Socialist-Democrat field will cut itself in half Tuesday night and leave them with three (or just maybe four) semi-serious candidates still standing.
