No one had posted about this so I thought I would mention it.
Barack Obama, my personal favourite among US Democrats seeking the democratic nomination, won very convincingly in the South Carolina primary on Saturday night.
Percentage of the votes:
Obama 55%
Clinton 27%
Edwards 18%
Number Of Pledged Delegates:
Obama 25
Clinton 12
Edwards 8

The next, and truly massive, test for the candidates is Super Tuesday on February 5th. Nearly two DOZEN states will have their caucuses or primaries on Super Tuesday. It is likely that whomever wakes up on February 6th with a significant lead in the delegate race, will win the democratic nomination.
I, for one, really hope that Barack Obama's momentum from South Carolina carries him to victory.
