Barack Obama wins in South Carolina!
I’m so happy for Obama!
Barack Obama ousts Hillary Clinton in South Carolina with 55% of the votes as opposed to Clinton’s 27%, while John Edwards settled for 18% of the votes. Exit polls showed that Obama “won almost every age, ideological and income group” in South Carolina.
This win ties Obama and Clinton at a score of 2-2 in the running to the Super Tuesday elections on 5th February during which many other American states would hold their nominations on the same day. And Obama’s win also halts Hillary Clinton’s winning-streak momentum gained during the earlier two primaries at Nevada and New Hampshire.
GO OBAMA! He has proven that the underdog can catch up with the supposed leader (used to be Clinton indisputably earlier last year). Now the question is not whether he will survive and see daylight, but it is whether he can triumph over rival Clinton!
The world needs an American leader who is trustworthy and honest. I look forward to Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States!
Below is his victory speech after the win which showcases his power as a great orator who rallies people together. Great speech!
“YES, WE CAN!”

sadly alot of the media is making the win the product of blacks supporting a black. im critical of that view but Jesse Jackson did win the SC primary afterall and we can all agree he did not transcend politics to something more than being a black candidate so I fear the media reports may hold some truth but it is an important and was a must win for Obama anyway.

haha yeah i don’t really like this racial play either. I support what Obama said in his speech about non-differentiation between colour and creed but it is apparent that this is not the reality in America now.
