1. What's your point?

And don't give me any crap about SC being an "outlier".

[no name no slogan]

2. Yes, we'll nominate Mondale AND Dukakis

and get our ass beat TWICE because of it

[billbuckhead]

3. The only Dem to win in decades is Clinton

It's a fact!

9. And that's only because of The Perot Factor

had Perot not stripped off enough GOP votes in 1992, he wouldn't have won.

Bill Clinton never won with a majority of the electorate. And he lost control of congress in 1994.

10. And he deformed welfare, passed NAFTA, telecommunications act, etc.

He was a right of center president.

12. He was the best Repbublican president since Eisenhower

He made Nixon look downright liberal in some ways

[MonkeyFunk]

11. false

every analysis I've seen shows Perot split the vote - and Clinton would've won without him in the race.

16. Perot drew more from conservatives than liberals

according to Wikipedia:

A detailed analysis of the voting demographics revealed that Perot's support drew heavily from across the political spectrum, with 20% of his votes coming from self-described liberals, 27% from self-described conservatives, and 53% coming from self-described moderates.

18. That's a fun factoid

but it doesn't mean Clinton would've lost without Perot in the race.

[grantcart]

7. In 2004 it was Edwards. Sharpton came in second.

campaigned there with Roger Stone money to push Clark off.

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

8. Er, NO

They were caucuses. In 84 and 88 SC held caucuses.

[ISUGRADIA]

13. Exactly right

The eventual establishment candidates who lost SC those years got their asses kicked in landslides in November.

[book_worm]

14. Go ahead and keep playing the race card. It's proven so effective in SC

[geek tragedy]

15. What the hell does that have to do with Obama? n/t
