Hey World,
Have you heard? Barack Obama has just won the South Carolina primary, with no small help from the likes of celebs such as Usher and Kerry Washinton. Check out the bossip.com link for pictures:

It's interesting that The Associated Press http://news.aol.com/elections/story/_a/obama-wins-big-in-south-carolina/20080126073309990001 made a point to mention that black women especially came out in support for Obama. The journalists could have just been stating the facts, but nonetheless, it's notable. Perhaps Obama strikes a chord with Black women, I don't know. Hopefully, none of them are vying for his affection. You'd better watch out, Michelle (just kidding!).
What I thought unworthy to note was the fact that John Edwards was born in South Carolina. I mean, that's a nice fun fact, but it seems like the media is attempting to imply that Edwards should win brownie points just because he is from there. Like it's ironic that Edwards didn't take South Carolina because he was born there when he has had more to do with North Carolina than anything else, since he was a Senator from there for a number of years. Man, the news media can be so predictable.
Well, good job Obama. Hillary Clinton must be annoyed, but we can't always get what we want.
