Exit polls: Bill Clinton's effect  —  (CNN) — Bill Clinton's aggressive campaigning in South Carolina in the days leading up to the state's primary may have had a net negative effect among South Carolina's Democratic primary voters, CNN exit polls indicate.
Mark Mooney / Political Punch:
Bubba: Obama Is Just Like Jesse Jackson  —  Said Bill Clinton today in Columbia, SC: “Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88.  Jackson ran a good campaign.  And Obama ran a good campaign here."  —  This was in response to a question about Obama saying it “took two people to beat him.”
Associated Press:
Obama runs away with SC primary  —  COLUMBIA, S.C. - Barack Obama routed Hillary Rodham Clinton in the racially-charged South Carolina primary Saturday night, regaining campaign momentum in the prelude to a Feb. 5 coast-to-coast competition for more than 1,600 Democratic National Convention delegates.

Thanks a lot, Bill Clinton  —  This past week Sen. Hillary Clinton left South Carolina to campaign in Feb. 5 voting states.  But she left behind her husband, Bill, as her surrogate campaigner and attacker of Sen. Barack Obama.  —  It's looking tonight, as Obama racks up a huge margin …
Mark Murray / MSNBC:
BILL: ‘MY MESSAGE’ 99.9% POSITIVE  —  From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli  —  COLUMBIA, SC — At the end of a week in which he's often been the center of attention, former president Bill Clinton struck a conciliatory note, admitting that he has gotten “hot” defending his wife even as he defended his campaign role.
Mark Murray / MSNBC:
LOOKING AT THE EXIT POLLS  —  From MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell and Adam Verdugo  —  The South Carolina Democratic primary has been a bitter, hard-fought contest with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama taking jabs at each other in Monday's televised debate.  In the exit polls …
Joe Gandelman / The Moderate Voice:
Bill Clinton As Victim: Says His Message is “99.99″ Percent Positive  —  If you say something often enough ("It's a brand new pre-owned car!"  “Iraq has weapons of mass destruction!"  “Why, honey, that dress doesn't make you look fat!") you might get others — and perhaps yourself — to believe it.
Rich Lowry / The Corner:
We Shall Overcome—the Clintons  —  That was not only a stirring victory speech by Obama, but a devastating rebuke to the Clintons clothed in inspirational liberal terms.  —  Obama embraced diversity, the subtext being that Hillary can't win blacks and is depending on keeping him from winning whites …

Kathryn Jean Lopez / The Corner:
The Obama Temptation  —  I tell you, he almost had me tonight until he talked about the war that shouldn't have been authorized and reminded me there are real policy issues at stake in this election!  But listening to his inspirational, rallying speech tonight it's clear and obvious that if he's the nominee, he will be tough to beat.
