4. Holy shit.
The undecided are climbing! But this is weird:

"African-Americans are favoring Barack Obama (43 percent) over Hillary Clinton (11
percent) and John Edwards (2 percent), with 45 percent of African-Americans undecided or
refusing to express a preference. Of those who express a preference, Barack Obama leads all
candidates with a seven point lead over Hillary Clinton. Obama is getting over three-quarters of
the declared African-American vote in South Carolina; Clinton, 20 percent; and Edwards, 4
percent. In the previous Palmetto Polls, Clinton and Obama were splitting the black vote about
evenly, but now Obama has a clear lead among African-American voters."

45% undecided among African-American voters? But only 40% total undecided? Does that mean there are MORE undecideds in the black than in the white community? Is there a possibility of a reverse Bradley effect????????

Obama's 43% is solid, but 45% of the total black voters polled haven't been able to tell a polltaker that they will definitely vote for him.

Oh, I am so not making predictions for Saturday. This ball is still in play.
