Obama Wins South Carolina!

Well that is interesting, isn't it? Obama wins South Carolina...nay, Obama *triumphs* in South Carolina and crushes his opponents. Clinton was completely swept away by Obama, garnering only half of the votes that Obama received. It seems that African Americans have spoken out about who they support, and that candidate is Barack Obama.

It's not surprising that Obama won, because it was thought to be an incredibly close race and what thus far of the campaign has allowed us to reliably predict the nominee? But he ran away with the spoon in this particular contest.

John Edwards continues to pull a respectable margin for a third place candidate to keep him in the race. However, since he pegged his chances of nomination on South Carolina and performed poorly for someone who absolutely, desperately needed a win, his chances of nomination has shrinked to zero. His chances of being Vice President, however, are still strong.
