61% of the voters were women.

Obama won SC with women.

1. Whatever you wish to claim from your threadstarter,

one cannot deny that the turnout(for all candidates)in SC was the best in decades. Hope this trend continues through the rest of the primaries.

Note: One can play with numbers all day long and come up with all sorts of conjectures. SC turned out in droves--they are to be congratulated for that.

3. Those are the numbers, pure and simple

People need to know the reality of the SC vote.

7. Pretty good for a primary, but "droves"?

2.4 million registered voters. 445,000 voted in the Republicans' primary. 550,000 in the Democrats' Primary. Around a 42% turnout.

And my playing with numbers isn't conjecture. It's just statistics based on facts (turnout for each demographic and how each voted).

2. I hate to say it, but you know what the "Yeah, but..." is going to be on this OP.

I think it is great, though, that Obama won the women vote in SC. He better keep doing that since our primary voters seem to be 60% women consistently. ;)

5. Yeah, but...Iowa.

And the other, "yeah...but" pertaining to SC doesn't hold up there.

4. Yes, very simple and astute analysis

6. yeah, but they were black, so they don't count. HEAVY SARCASM APPLIED. nt

8. How many were black women? Just curious. Women have NEVER voted as a bloc for women...

No reason they should start now.

9. The numbers are very impressive for Obama, he appealed to a wide segment of voters in SC.

It was one of the most overwhelming victories in a primary that I have seen for quite a few years.

Gee, the last time someone had huge numbers across the board like this, was hmmmm, back in 2004, when Kerry won that one primary.
