Why Obama's expected win in SC may well be a loss.

I'm dreading this happening, but I'm pretty sure that it will. The Clinton machine will continue doing what it does best: Pointing out what a "black" candidate Obama is. They'll respond over and over to any victory there as a "black" victory. They'll bring up the racial composition of the voters incessently. Unlike in NV, where the latino vote going for Clinton was a source of pride, they'll try and belittle his win by marginalizing Obama as a candidate who only appeals to African American voters- despiste his win in Iowa and his good showings in NH and NV. And the media will parrot this line as well.

I really hate thinking this is how it will play out.
