BREAKING NEWS

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill broke the news at a press conference a few minutes ago: Barack Obama will be in St. Louis on Saturday for a 9:00 PM public event (no word yet where). That’s just three days before Missouri and 20 other states get a chance to vote on the Democratic and Republican candidates.

More details as they become available…

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.

U.S. Senator and 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry is about to announce his endorsement of Illinois senator Barack Obama for President, according to reports.

The message here seems to be: John Edwards (Kerry’s former running mate) can’t win the primary election, Hillary Clinton can’t win the general election.

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly is anything but subtle and he let an aide to Senator Barack Obama know exactly how he felt when he couldn’t get immediate access to the Democratic presidential candidate in New Hampshire this weekend.

O’Reilly reportedly got into a physical altercation with Marvin Nicholson, the Obama aide. According to reports, O’Reilly pushed Nicholson and demand that he get out of the way of his view of Obama.

PubDef had a front-row seat to history last night.
