Obamarama

The South Carolina Democratic primary results don't require much interpretation: Barack Obama won big, taking 55 percent of the vote in a three-person race. Hillary Clinton received 27 percent, and John Edwards a sad 18 percent in his home state.

It was a stunning performance by Obama in the face of day after day of attacks by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Did the Clinton's tactics backfire? I think you may see a big change in tone for Florida on Tuesday and the Super Tuesday primaries on Feb. 5. Remember, though, that black voters dominate the South Carolina Democratic primary, and he won't have that advantage going forward.
