Politics | Barack Obama makes important time in South Carolina: “If he can derail Clinton here, he can win the nomination” | Jamie Dean

GREENVILLE, S.C.— When Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) strode into a shopping mall in Greenville, S.C., he wasn't hunting for sales. Instead, the Democratic presidential candidate told an energetic crowd of nearly 3,500 supporters packed into the atrium of Greenville Technical College: "All we're selling here today is hope, change, and a new kind of politics."

So far in South Carolina, those promises sell: While Obama trails Democratic frontrunner Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) by double digits in national polls, he firmly leads Clinton and other Democratic contenders in South Carolina, an early primary state. Clemson University political scientist Dave Woodard told WORLD that's significant for Obama: "If he can derail Clinton here, he can win the nomination."
