That was not only a stirring victory speech by Obama, but a devastating rebuke to the Clintons clothed in inspirational liberal terms.

He nearly had K-Lo. And some liberals also saw new strength. Noam Scheiber agrees with me about the speech. Dickerson has a great line:
Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton so badly in South Carolina it may spawn some new kind of Southern colloquialism.
And don't miss Ambers.
