Senator Barack Obama defeated The Clinton Machine 2-1 in the South Carolina Democratic Primary last night.
With 99% of the precincts reporting, Obama received 295,091 (55%) votes to Hillary Clinton’s 141,128 (27%) and South Carolina native John Edwards‘ 93,552 (18%) votes.
Obama has won more delegates (not including so-called “super delegates”, Obama has won 63 delegates, Clinton 48, and Edwards 26) and more votes (in all the primaries and caucuses so far) of any other Democratic candidate.
This contest is not about white vs. black, rich vs. poor, or women vs. men, said Obama in his eloquent victory speech last night. This contest is simply about the future vs. the past.
