Obama & JFK--Caroline Kennedy Endorses Obama After Landslide S.C. Victory

It was definitely a great night for Barack Obama in South Carolina. The polls showed roughly a 6-10% lead but as we saw in New Hampshire, you can never rely on a poll for a victory. Plus it was hard to determine what effect Bill & Hillary Clinton's dirty politics were having on the state. It appeared they might be splitting the state by race as in some polls Obama had only 10% of the white vote. Not a big deal in South Carolina but a huge deal for Super Tuesday where Democratic white vote is the majority. The Clinton's dirty tactics appeared that they might not win South Carolina but would divide the Democratic Party racially opening the door for Hillary to sweep on Super Tuesday.

South Carolina showed the Clinton's that American voters are too intelligent for Bill's tired old strategy of disinformation and insinuations and Obama's campaign is too special to get pulled down into the mud where Bill and Hillary have been residing since Iowa. Obama not only defeated Hillary, but won by a landslide with more than double the votes that Hillary received. Hillary only won among 65+ older voters in South Carolina and Obama received support from nearly every single demographic. Even the Democratic National Party is tiring of the Clinton's dirty tactics as Bill has been warned several times to get out of the mud and has vehemently refused to. It does seem Bill will do anything to get re-elected even though officially it would be his wife.

As if things could not get any worse for Hillary Clinton it appeared all these dirty politics have brought another Obama supporter to the surface: Caroline Kennedy.

It has been announced that Caroline Kennedy is endorsing Obama tomorrow morning in Sunday's New York Times. In her endorsement entitled "A President Like My Father", Caroline writes: " I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president - not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans." Caroline Kennedy is the daughter of legendary former President John F. Kennedy, someone who Obama and his uplifting message have been compared to in recent months. Caroline Kennedy's endorsement is the icing on the cake to a perfect night. Now let's hope we can continue the fight and bright hope to all the states upcoming on Super Tuesday.

If you're curious how similar are Obama and JFK, I have attached a few speeches below from both great men. Listen to them and compare. I am biased in my opinion but apparently Caroline Kennedy agrees with me.
