As you very well know - Barack Obama picked up a much needed win and momentum in South Carolina. Emerging from a bitter campaign week with democratic rivals Hillary & Bill Clinton, Obama managed to receive %55 of the democratic vote in SC. Now comes the good stuff. Senator Kennedy will endorse Obama for President Monday, which is seen to be a very influential nod from within the Democratic party and also represents a huge boost for the Obama campaign. Furthered by a op-ed piece "A President Like My Father" in todays New York Times (whose editorial board decided to back Clinton) by President Kennedy's daughter and only living child - Caroline Kennedy. The endorsement from the royalty of Political families is definitely a positive - yet it will be interesting to see how this works out for Obama in the long run. Obviously with the Democratic party pushing for whatever candidate they think will have the best chance of handily taking back the white house. Click on the pictures above to view the articles.
