Senator Barack Obama is riding a wave of momentum after Saturday’s landslide victory in South Carolina’s Democratic primary. On Sunday, former President John F. Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline, endorsed Obama in a column in the New York Times titled “A President Like My Father.” And today, Senator Ted Kennedy is scheduled to announce his support for the Illinois senator at a campaign rally at American University in Washington. On Saturday, Obama won 55 percent of the vote in South Carolina.

Sen. Obama: “Tonight, the cynics who believed that what began in the snows of Iowa was just an illusion were told a different story by the good people of South Carolina. And in nine days, nine short days, nearly half the nation will have the chance to join us in saying that we are tired of business as usual in Washington, we are hungry for change, and we are ready to believe again.”

Senator Hillary Clinton placed second with 27 percent. John Edwards, who was born in South Carolina, placed third with 18 percent. On Saturday, former President Bill Clinton attempted to downplay Obama’s victory.

Bill Clinton: “Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice in '84 and ’88. And he ran a good campaign. And Senator Obama's run a good campaign here. He’s run a good campaign everywhere.”
