Thumbs up Exit polls SC: Bill Clinton's Negative effect!

Exit polls: Bill Clinton's effect:

(CNN) — Bill Clinton's aggressive campaigning in South Carolina in the days leading up to the state's primary may have had a net negative effect among South Carolina’s Democratic primary voters, CNN exit polls indicate.

Roughly 6 in 10 South Carolina Democratic primary voters said Bill Clinton's campaigning was important in how they ultimately decided to vote,
and of those voters,
48 percent went for Barack Obama
while only 37 percent went for Hillary Clinton.
Fourteen percent of those voters voted for John Edwards.

Obama noted that the Clinton campaign had stepped up its attacks since his Iowa win, and joked that it's good practice for him, so "when I take on those Republicans, I'll be accustomed to it."

This guy is a slimeball. He see's this simply as another chance to put himself into the limelight for another 4 years.

Haha, just wait. Hillary is the most conservative of the Democrats running. Keep pushing and gambling that nobody but Hillary could beat a Republican, and you just might end up with someone a lot more "left" than Hillary is!

The only "slimeball" is the one presently occupying the oval office.

53% of the Democratic voters in SC were black, they voted almost 80% for Obama. None of the other Democratic primary states have that high number of black voters. If I were you, I'd hold up on claiming anything has backfired.
