Congratulations to Barack Obama on his formidable victory over Hillary Clinton in the South Carolina Democrat Primary. Even I was surprised by the margin of victory by Senator Obama. The 54% Senator Obama received as compared to the 27% for Hillary Clinton and John Edwards at a distant third with 19% says something about the viability and electabilty of Senator Obama. Hillary Clinton needs to realize that she will not be successful in her efforts to marginalize the abilities of Barack Obama. Bill Clinton was already out in front of Hillary Clinton holding hostage the audience which was subjected to his overly unctuous diatribe on his record as Arkansas Governor and as President. Bill Clinton sounded as if he wanted to be co-President or more precisely the pupeteer directing Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton has lost his "teflon" coating. I look forward to the opportunity to review the results of the "Super Tuesday" Primaries. It is my strong sense that Hillary Clinton will be reeling from her multiple defeats on February 5, 2008. Barack Obama will receive the endorsement of Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg (John Kennedy's Daughter) via an op-ed piece in the Sunday New York Times. This is a plus for Obama and a big negative for Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama is older than John Kennedy when he was elected in 1960, Kennedy then 43 years old and Obama 46 years old as of this writing. Our Nation is ready for a politician like Barack Obama. It is evident Obama will seek to govern from the "middle" and bring together the splinters left by George W. Bush. As I have written time and time again, anybody but Hillary Clinton as President of the United States.
