Speaking of fast - With less than 1% of the votes counted, they're already calling South Carolina for Barack Obama: "Obama pulls big victory out of South Carolina." So far the story of the night may be the backlash against the Clintons with regard to the African-American vote, now estimated at a wide 81% to 17% for Obama.

Extra - More backlash? From the LA Times "Is the Right right on the Clintons?": "Something strange happened the other day. All these different people -- friends, co-workers, relatives, people on a liberal e-mail list I read -- kept saying the same thing: They've suddenly developed a disdain for Bill and Hillary Clinton. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but I think we've reached an irrevocable turning point in liberal opinion of the Clintons." More at Memeorandum.
