Obama triumphs in South Carolina

US presidential hopeful Barack Obama has secured a decisive win in the South Carolina primary election, as he bids to be the Democratic Party's candidate.

The Illinois senator beat his main rival, Hillary Clinton by 55% to 27%, with John Edwards third on 18%.

The result is a boost for Mr Obama's campaign ahead of Super Tuesday on 5 February, when 24 states vote for who they want to run for US president.

Republicans are campaigning for their next primary, in Florida on Tuesday.
