This Was Going To Be Titled "South Carolina"

20 minutes ago I was getting ready to hop in the shower. My roommates room is next to the bathroom and I see on his little 6" TV that CNN is calling the South Carolia primary for Obama and he has 70% of the vote to Hillary's 21% and Edwards 9%.

I was going to talk about how good this is for Obama to win by such a huge margin. I was going to try to flush out if this apparent electoral slaughter of Hillary was going to change the tone of the campaign for better or worse. I was going to try to find the link (maybe on Sully) to a rumor about a backroom deal for Obama to offer Edwards the Justice Dept in return for his endorsement.

I get back from the shower, turn on my TV and I see that the percentages are 51/30/19. WTF! Then I see that only 3% of the vote is reporting. It looks like Obama is going to hang on to win this but what kind of crap is this? Calling it based on exit polling with less than 10% of the vote counted. THis is the kind of shennanigans that get networks in trouble.
