7. John Edwards got almost Zero African American support
and no one accused him of running a racist campaign. To the contrary, he ran on economic issues and defended those who have been left behind by the Bush 'economic expansion. In SC Edwards got 2% of the total non white vote in that State primary. Relative to their respective vote totals, Hillary Clinton got something like 7 times more support from African Americans in South Carolina than John Edwards did.
