Well, it's been a rollercoaster week in the US Presidential Primaries. The Republican field is still four (or five?) strong and it's anyone's guess who'll win the nomination. On the Democratic side, the field has narrowed down to two (Sorry John Edwards fans). Hilary's upset win on Tuesday in New Hampshire has left the pollsters and pundits scratching their heads, but regardless the race goes on - in Nevada on the 19th and in South Carolina on the 26th. To that end, Senator Obama held a rally here in Chucktown today at the College of Charleston. Rumours of a surprise speaker had everyone aflutter, but when it turned out to be John Kerry the disappointment was palpable. Nevertheless, the former Democratic nominee gave Obama a glowing introduction, and perhaps more importantly, he will provide the Obama campaign with a very large list of potential supporters, leftover from the 2004 election. Obama gave a pretty solid stump speech to a typically raucous crowd, basking in the sunshine and 70 degree weather.
Here's a slideshow (with apologies to David Bowie) of some photos I took there:
And here's a short summary from NPR's All things Considered.
Saddling up with the pony for change,
