Obama Wins South Carolina Primary

The race continues on as Obama wins the South Carolina Primary in convincing fashion. The part that Surprised me the most was how badly John Edwards did since that is the state that he is from. That crushing defeat pretty much dashes his hopes of winning, but he is continuing on so that he can possibly be a spoiler. I have little doubt that whomever loses (Obama or Clinton) will be very upset that Edwards stayed in the race this long. I think it will all come down to February 5th, when lots of states vote. On a side note I've seen a lot more Obama signs and bumper stickers lately. What I want to know is why people are supporting him. I can definitely attest to the fact that he is a good speaker, but I don't know much about him and where he stands on lots of issues. For instance, if he wins, will he take away my guns? :-)
