South Carolina Primary

How Many Times Do We Have to Tell You?

Wasn't it Tolstoy who believed that “leaders” simply follow from in front?

For the second time, we have a victory in a Democratic primary where a candidate won by a margin well beyond what the polls predicted.

Why?

Today, on the television gobble-fests, we'll be given reason after reason why. In every case—mark my words—the focus will be on the leaders, on what they have done or haven't done. On strategy, on manipulating the voters one way or another.

Yet the real story of South Carolina isn't the candidates at all.

It's the voters.
