A little over a week ago, we won South Carolina because grassroots supporters took the campaign into their own hands and convinced their friends and neighbors that their votes counted.

Everyone has a story, and all the stories lead to the same conclusion, as Barack said in his South Carolina victory speech: "That out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people in three simple words: Yes. We. Can."
