So where the polls wrong again?

Maybe I am not looking hard enough but can anyone find a poll that saw this coming?

"COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Democratic Party broke its own turnout record in Saturday's presidential primary and eclipsed the number of ballots cast by residents in the Republican primary the week before.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting, more than 532,000 votes had been tabulated in Barack Obama's commanding victory here. The returns easily eclipsed the 280,000 people who voted in the Democratic primary in 2004.
Democratic officials characterized the record-breaking vote as a sign that the party is resurgent in South Carolina."


Obama crushed her by almost 30 points. That is an impressive statement. Love to see some numbers on increased turnout amongst African Americans.
