Hello and welcome to another episode of Best of the Left Podcast.

Today we have clips from theuptake.org, CNN, Democracy Now, Barack Obama, Sam Cedar and Ted Kennedy.

99% of the precincts have now reported Barack Obama wins the state of South Carolina.

55% of Hillary Clinton's 27th John Edwards, 18% of the vote.

Let's take a look and see how Barack Obama did this a very, very impressive win, John King.

Wow, is the word for it in three simple letters. Well, here's the state, 99% of the precincts reported.

As you know, 55% of Barack Obama, let's look at it from this perspective.

How many counties did he win? Look at that. That's Barack Obama.

You have one county here, not his, one county way on the far left, and one in the middle we haven't got any results yet.

Barack Obama winning almost everywhere.

John Edwards, just up there, his hometown of Seneca, South Carolina.

He won that county, a very small rural county, not many votes there, but a symbolic victory for John Edwards there.

Senator Clinton, winning only here in Oory County. That is the home of Murdle Beach, South Carolina.

But again, the big story tonight is this. Wow, Barack Obama winning everywhere and winning big.

And we'll let's project this forward just a little bit. He won on the back of African American support.

Excuse my scribbles, but this is South Carolina. 29% of the population is African American, registered voters.

Only Georgia and Alabama, in terms of the Super Tuesday state, get into the 20s.

26% in Alabama, 30% in Georgia.

Everywhere else, the numbers are much lower. 17% in New York, 17% in Tennessee, 16% in Arkansas, 15% in Obama's home state of Illinois.

Then as you go out West, a much smaller percentage of African Americans in the electorate.

So his challenge will be to go beyond the African American base he had right there.

Very, and you could hear in his speech tonight, looking ahead to all of those states.
