Obama crushes Clinton in South Carolina Primary
January 26, 2008 
Barack Obama won the South Carolina primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton Saturday:
Sen. Barack Obama claimed a significant victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday, telling supporters “we are hungry for change.”
The Illinois senator earned more than twice the vote that rival Sen. Hillary Clinton did, 55 percent to 27 percent, unofficial returns showed.
Former Sen. John Edwards was third with 18 percent.
“Tonight, the cynics who believed that what began in the snows of Iowa was just an illusion were told a different story by the good people of South Carolina,” Obama said to supporters Saturday.
Obama referenced the “snows of Iowa”? Now who’s injecting race into this campaign? Geez, we already know Iowa is 94% white, Barack. Okay, we’re just kidding. We’re not going to discuss race here as the defining issue of the campaign, as some others have done.
All kidding aside, Obama won more than double the vote Clinton did, certainly giving him momentum (and the delegate lead) going into the humongous Super Tuesday contests in 24 states on February 5th.
