For OpEdNews: Rob Kall - Writer

Taking the exit polls that CNN has posted for the South Carolina Democratic primary, Obama pulled 24% of the non-black vote, which made up about 45% of the democratic votes cast in SC.

On a day when Edwards supporters are feeling disappointed and dejected there's a bit of good news.

Nobody has mentioned that John Edwards came in second among non-black voters, pulling about 5% more than Hillary Clinton.

OpEdNews did a statistical analysis of the exit poll data CNN reported here, looking at the vote by race and age chart. We found that, combining the age ranges, Edwards pulled 51.1% and Hillary pulled 48.9% of the non-black voters who did not vote for Obama. The numbers are close, but since these are exit polls, with a much bigger sample size, they mean something.

Who knows what this means? Can Edwards use this in some way to build his case for Super-Tuesday? Does it suggest that in states where the black population is lower, like California, Edwards will do much better, at least, than Hillary?

What do you think?
