[Crumpets]

First post-announcement PPP poll doesn't include Lessig. Tsk tsk tsk.

[Eraserhead]

Sanders doesn't have a chance in hell here, so go Joe!

[MR. KAYNE WEST]

Its only a matter of time before Biden leads in Iowa and then winning SC.

[Skye]

Lol Bernie isn't getting past here.

[MR. KAYNE WEST]

Lol look at Jeb. SC was suppose to give him the nomination; like it did Dubya over Forbes.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Didn't Bernie Sanders talking about going to the South to try and win over working class whites? 

[PJ]

Didn't Bernie Sanders talking about going to the South to try and win over working class whites? 

He did, but his campaign really doesn't reflect something that would appeal to Southern whites. Not to mention that Sanders is struggling with African Americans as well, which is the more important demographic in SC.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Didn't Bernie Sanders talking about going to the South to try and win over working class whites? 

Not with Trump in the race he won't.

[Mehmentum]

Didn't Bernie Sanders talking about going to the South to try and win over working class whites? 

Southern working class whites vote Republican, and probably support Trump.

[The Mikado]

Your average Democratic Primary voters in SC are not white Southerners anyway. That gets at the heart of the difference between Obama's campaign and this: Obama successfully got white liberals, the young, and blacks together as a winning coalition, but Sanders lacks one of those groups.

[(CT) The Free North]

This must obviously be due to Trumps phenomenal relationship with 'the blacks'.

[Tender Branson]

Can anyone explain to me why Sanders is repeatedly at around 25% in GA, but only at around 10% in SC ?

The Dem. primary electorate should be roughly the same in both states, no ? 60% minorities and 40% Whites. So, why the big difference between the two states ?

Lot more liberal whites in the Atlanta area than in any of South Carolina.

Also GA is home to many higher-income, highly-educated blacks.

Words cannot describe the sheer beauty of this datum. It is at times like these that we must be thankful to God for allowing us to live during this moment of history.

It's a bit confusing to me as well, considering this.

Lot more liberal whites in the Atlanta area than in any of South Carolina.

I suppose this makes sense, but it's not as if Democratic presidential primaries are going to feature radically different groups of whites between the two states. Even if the whites who vote in the SC Democratic primary are less cosmopolitan and more rural, they're not necessarily likely to be substantially more conservative than the ones in GA (even with ATL's influence on GA, whites in SC are about 4 points more Democratic than in GA).

[Maxwell]

Oh wow, I did not expect Lindsey Graham to sink this low IN HIS HOME STATE. Disaster.

Could he drop out before the first primary? I think so.

I have some friends who are fairly connected in Democratic politics here. Hillary learned from 2008 and took the time and effort to lock up in advance the opinion leaders here rather than depend upon her inevitability as she did then. However she probably hasn't put much effort into Georgia yet since their primary isn't until March.

Georgia's primary is on super Tuesday in March...

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I see I confused Georgia's general primary and presidential primary.  I'm not as worried about politics as some of my friends.  Still, Georgia is not one of the first fab four.
