Nearly all saying Bill Clinton may have caused backlash. NBC quotes Bill saying earlier today, "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice, in '84 and '88." NBC's comment: "The reference to Jackson seemed a way to downplay today's result in a state where a majority of voters are African American."
Update: NBC says Hillary will beat out Edwards for 2nd. Bill Clinton is speaking from Missouri and refers to big vote coming up in Florida -- even though it is not supposed to count. He also refers to this as his "post-politics" years. NBC reveals that Caroline Kennedy will be endorsing Obama in the pages of The New York Times tomorrow More as night goes on over at E&P:
