Obama Wins South Carolina
Good news in South Carolina. It wasn’t a big surprise that Obama won today but I don’t think anyone predicted such a rout. Obama got 55 percent of the vote while Clinton has only 27 percent. A 28 point victory, more than double Clinton’s take, has to exceed anyone’s expectations. Now if he can only sustain some of this momentum into the next couple of week in states he is not the favorite.
However a couple of things from the Clinton camp over the last couple of days have bothered me.
Today Bill Clinton, when asked about is it fair that Obama is running against two people, didn’t even try to answer the question but offered that Obama is running a good race and that even Jessie Jackson won South Carolina. I’m sure that the Clinton spin-doctors will clarify that he didn’t say that he only won the state because he was black but that is how a few commentators took it tonight.
A couple of days ago Hillary Clinton came out and said that the results in Michigan should stand for delegate allocation using the disenfranchisement card if these votes don’t count. I’m sorry if the rules are annoying but Michigan and Florida pissed off the DNC. Even better is she was the only person on the ballot. I’m sure if Obama had been the only one on the ballot she would be screaming to not count the votes. The funny thing is she barely beat undecided and lost to undecided in many cities including Ann Arbor.

Sarah Hughes, 19, I'll admit she is a weak entry, but she gets points because I will watch her skate, and there's few of those, and she looks like the very hot Alyson Hannigan
