Obama Winning Latinos Handily in SC

[Barack_America]

Obama 53%
Clinton 17%
Edwards 9%

And also women...and independents...and the age groups ranging from 18-64

Oddly enough, Edwards is winning the Republicans.

Just goes to show you, try as the media may to paint it otherwise, these groups are not monolithic.

1. skewed poll

I am an Obama supporter, but lets look closely at the hispanic number. Only 1% of the poll respondents were hispanic. So only about 6 respondents.

2. Oh well.

The usual hyperbole, unless you double check everything they write for yourself.

8. Small point, please.......

Lemme see: Of the 4.3 million population total, 3.5% are Hispanic/Latinos = 150,500. (That's total including children and non-citizens).
