South Carolina Primary Will Test Hillary Clinton’s Grip on Obama’s Coattails

Hillary Clinton recaptured momentum with her win against Bernie Sanders in the Nevada caucuses last weekend, but the South Carolina primary on Saturday will serve as the true test of whether she can excite the voters who shunned her in 2008 to support Barack Obama.

In her last campaign, the state shattered Mrs. Clinton’s hopes and frayed the relationship she and Bill Clinton had with black voters, dealing Mr. Obama a 28-percentage-point victory and convincing the country that his appeal extended beyond the largely white, liberal electorate of Iowa.
