Obama Wins in South Carolina. Another Victory for Racial Harmony or Not?

I just read a Washington Post story that said nearly 80% of African-American voters voted for Obama and over 70% of Caucasian voters voted for Clinton. The article also went on to say that because exit polls showed that whites would be happy with Obama as a presidential nominee and African-Americans would be happy with Clinton, that some racial unity had been achieved. And oh, oh, I can't believe they said it but yes they said it; The Dallas Morning News on-line headline is;

Barack Obama's South Carolina win rejiggers race

click on the headline to see it for yourself. Hey guys, you can't use words like "rejigger" when someone who might be called a rejigger is running for President. They phone must be ringing off the hook in the newsroom about now. Dummies.

Back to the title subject of this editorial.
I must be missing something here. Caucasoids mainly voted for Caucasoids and the hyphenated Americans mainly voted for the half Caucasoid guy who looks more African than European. That's supposed to mean we have progressed from the racist dark ages?

Some have mentioned the fact that Obama lacks experience and well Clinton, uh, lacks experience. At least if Hillary becomes president, Bill will be there to show her where to sign.
Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall if Hillary' is in the Oval office and Bill comes in for some reminiscing? The crockery would be flying.
