Barack Obama crushes Billary in South Carolina

Although Bill and Hillary Clinton double teamed Barack Obama with attacks in South Carolina, Barack won the state's primary on Saturday anyway.  By a lot. Here are the results:

  • Barack Obama - 55%
  • Hillary Clinton -  27%
  • John Edwards - 18%

Twice as many people voted for Barack than Hillary.  And it looks like Bill Clinton's attacks on Barack hurt Hillary.  60% of voters participating in exit polls said that the former president's campaigning was an important factor in their decision.  Of those, 47% went for Obama and 38% for Clinton. 

Note to Bill: Play nice in the sandbox!  And no throwing mud.
