Drudge Claims Clintons Expect 25 Point Win In South Dakota

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, South Dakota

Yesterday I wrote about the false meme that Obama somehow had South Dakota tied up. Today we’re seeing the “Wow, Hillary could win this big” meme starting to take shape.

Frankly, I don’t really know what to expect tonight, but if anybody tells you that South Dakota has always been in Obama’s column, they don’t know what they’re talking about.
