South Carolina a blue state??

[araby]

this is the question on everybody's minds after 75% more Democrats showed up to vote in the primaries than Republicans did.

If Sean Hannity can grill a female caller with ten questions, with the purpose of getting her to admit that she is voting for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman...then you BET South Carolina voters went with race. Anyone who thinks otherwise still has their head in the sand.

I don't know if the state will go blue or not...but based on voter turnout saturday, I have a feeling we will. It's inappropriate to vote for a woman *because* she's female, or for a black person *because* they're black...just as it's inappropriate to vote for a man or a white person. Doesn't mean people won't.

and TEd Kennedy?? good lord. I think I'd say, "thanks, but no thanks" haha. or at least not accept any rides from him.

Why isn't it correct to vote for whom you feel would best represent your best interests using only the most basic criteria?

It is far more inappropriate to try to tell someone what criteria they must use while practicing their own voting rights.

I think the answer is more of the moderate people in South Carolina dislike the Clintons than care which GOP person is nominated.

Election day the delegates in South Carolina will go to the GOP.

The right to vote comes with having the right to choose your vote, and keep it private. So yes, it's correct to vote for whom a person feels best represents their interests based on *any* criteria.

I'm just saying that while guys like Sean Hannity have been on the radio saying "Why are you voting for Hillary *because* she's a woman", when as an example, our entire state just went with a candidate based on his race, that you have to wonder that way down the line. Is it okay to say "I"m going to vote for soandso because they're white"? If not, then why is it okay to say "I'm going to vote for soandso because they are black."

It's just interesting how it's all being perceived and reported, when like you said, Adam...people *do* vote that way, ALL the time. I'm pointing out that Sean Hannity is actually right for once, but that it doesn't matter...this is the way people think and vote. It is INCREDIBLE, I mean just...WOW...the voter turnout in this state Saturday. People say, "We knew Obama would take SC" but they don't realize how even bigger the news is for us as a state...that the numbers were as high as they were for turnout.

Lyion, there were 75% more democrats than republicans that voted in the primaries. That's a huge number for republicans in november. Ugh, I'm not getting my point across very well, I have flu so I"m dizzy and jittery...

what I mean to say is that the key here...is the voter turnout. it's astounding for us. there is certainly a chance for this state to go blue ^_^

just a little backup for my original post. I can always count on this guy to agree with me...or vice versa. it's kind of annoying even, haha...when I've said something or posted something and then listen to his commentary or hear him on the radio to find he's saying the same thing.
