Illinois US Senator Barack Obama rolled to a surprisingly easy victory in the South Carolina Democratic Primary on Saturday 26 January, whipping delegate-leading Senator Hillary Clinton by a better than 2-1 margin. Obama's wide margin helps to springboard him as the favorite to win in Tuesday's Florida primary, three days away, and positions him well to secure some unexpected additional victories when the 20 plus states Super Tuesday primaries are held on 5 February from the Northeast to the South and west to California.The Clinton machine has been shocked and stunned by the resiliency and growing strength of the Obama campaign. The Clinton machine is struggling deeply to come up with a message and strategy to end once and for all the Obama quest. Clinton remains the favorite to win the nomination, but is in a much greater precarious position than she was just weeks ago. Obama may yet win this nomination, but much remains to be decided in states from coast to coast over the next several weeks. Whether the Clinton machine can rebound with any resounding primary wins in the coming weeks remains to be seen.
