Obama Trounces Clinton in SC

South Carolina Democrats overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama today as he destroyed Hillary Clinton.

He won with 55% of the vote, while Hillary Clinton got 27%, and John Edwards got 18%.

Everyone expected Obama to beat Hillary, but not like this. He beat her by more than a 2 to 1 margin.

Hillary tried to lower expectations for herself in the days before the vote, but it obviously wasn't enough. She said that Obama had the vast support of blacks and that he would most likely win.

But he didn't just do well among blacks. He showed strong with whites and showed a wide range of support that catapulted him to this victory.

Edwards, a native son to South Carolina, did very poorly. South Carolina was considered to be his best shot because he was born here, and he won it in 2004. However, he said he will carry on to Super Tuesday to the dismay of Clinton and Obama. But he's toast.

I can't really say what impact this will have on Super Tuesday, but expect a bounce in the polls for Obama, especially in the south. But keep your eye on delegate-rich California, because I think that will decide who the nominee will be.
