Barack Obama's 55% of the vote was reflected in his winning 25 delegates out of South Carolina's total of 45 up for grabs tonight. Hillary Clinton got 12 delegates, while John Edwards picked up 8.
The means Obama has won the delegate count in three out of the four primaries and caucuses held so far, while in the fourth (New Hampshire) he tied among delegates with Hillary Clinton. But she continues to lead when unpledged "PLEO" delegates - the so-called superdelegates - are included.
The running total of pledged delegates (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina) in the primaries so far is:
Obama: 63 Clinton: 48 Edwards: 26
