With none of the other major Democratic candidates on the ballot, Hillary Clinton was only able to garner 58 percent of the Michigan vote as of this writing, while "uncommitted" won 37 percent. More troubling for Clinton heading into South Carolina are exit polls showing that a staggering 70 percent of black voters took the time to go to the polls to vote for "uncommitted" over Hillary. "Uncommitted" also won among voters in the 18-29 and 30-44 age ranges, and among independents.
If only "uncommitted" had the money to take out TV ads, it just might have beaten Hillary.
