Obviously, Jesse Jackson also won the South Carolina primary, among others, only to lose in his contest for the nomination for the presidency. However, his candidacy never struck a chord among many Americans the way Obama's has--especially among the young.

Hillary's politics of personal destruction is, with Bill's help, turning into the politics of self-destruction. And that can only benefit Obama.

Cynical manipulation of the electorate, especially by Rove, Cheney--and Bush himself--elected Bush and kept him in power. But Obama is the anti-Bush---while Hillary, with her slash-and-burn approach--brings more of the vicious partisanship which has dominated the US for too long--and encourages yet more cynicism.

Obama deserves the support of all thinking individuals in the world--including you.
