"Let's see, where are the white voters? There they are!" lol

71% of the white vote for McCain and 96% of the black vote for Obama indicates that there is racialized voting in the South. This is why Democrats have a difficult time winning in the South, but the trend will change because of younger voters, higher educated voters, and new people moving to the South.

And next year, those states will all go to Ron Paul.

around this period of time in 2004, it was Kerry-77 and Bush-66

I find it so funny that Obama lost South Carolina which has almost a third black population but in a landslide won Vermont which pretty much has less than 10,000 black people. That just goes to show you how politically polarized the races are in the South.

If you do the math on first exit polls out of SC, McCain was supposed to carry the state by a (53% to 46%) margin. The reason why was because McCain won men (56% to 43%) and they both tied among women (50% to 50%). In the final exit polls, Obama carried (26%) of the white vote, which was 3 pts higher than John Kerry in 2004. This state's election results have not been in single digits (54%-45%) since Bill Clinton ran for reelection, in which he lost by 8 pts.

LOL @ 0:40

Look at the bottom. Obama leads in Maine with 2 votes to McCain's 1. What happened there? Did the first precinct to report only have three voters in it?
