The vote is in South Carolina.  Of course they are saying that Bill was playing the race card. Hmmmm 80% of the black vote went for Obama. The white vote split three ways.

So to a novice like me looking at the numbers it seemed like the black voters of South Carolina voted on race, the whites not so much. I can understand why they did. I am not faulting it.

Bill Clinton was speaking what he was seeing on the streets and the press was beating him up on it. They were also saying Bill Clinton set the stage to early to say it was based on race if Hillary is she lost.  Look at these numbers and let me know what you thing--

These numbers are based on what I heard on CNN at 7:25

They were also saying whites with out a College Education were more likely to vote for Hillary.  I bet if you look at these numbers they would also over lap the older white women who were voting for Hillary.

As all of you know I am pretty politically minded. By chance I was in Harvard Square this week and I saw a sign that said I need to register to vote by August 30 to be eligible to vote in the upcoming primary. I saw this by chance. 

In this state you can register to vote at the department of motor vehicles. In this state you can also change your address on line so there is little reason to go to DMV when you move.

I have gotten various coupons welcoming me to the neighborhood. I didn’t get anything from my town about the town that I remember. Okay I got a phone book and it has information about my town in those extra pages that you never look at.  Maybe I did get something I can’t remember.

 My next chore is to figure out who I am going to vote for in the primaries. I am really glad that this year the dems are not going after each other. I have not seen any debates and don’t know very much about the candidates. Comcast has a channel that you can go to find out about the candidates…I guess I will have to go there.
