Amazing, touching and inspiring.
People who have never gotten involved in the political process getting  
inspired.
It is something wonderful to see.

In less than 24 hours, voters in South Carolina will head to the polls. 
Before they do, I wanted to show you a bit about what kind of campaign  we're 
running here. 
When Michelle and I talked about my running for president, one of the core  
goals we both had for this campaign was to leave the political process better  
off than we found it.  
Here in South Carolina, a state with a history of some pretty divisive  
politics, ordinary people have challenged conventional thinking about the  process 
and built a statewide organization based on local community organizing  and 
neighbor-to-neighbor contacts. 
Our supporters -- men and women of all ages, races, religions, and  
backgrounds -- have come together around the idea that we are one people,  invested in 
each other and in our common future. 
We've put together a few videos that will give you a sense of what we've  
built here -- please take a look:

In communities across this state, people who have never been involved in  
politics before -- or who had given up on what they saw as a broken system --  
have built something special. 
No matter what the outcome tomorrow, our work here will have a lasting  
impact on those communities and on the Democratic Party for a long time to  come. 
We're seeing the same story play out across the country as grassroots  
supporters in 22 states prepare to cast their votes or turn out to caucus on  
February 5th. 
Remember that tomorrow night, after the votes are in from South Carolina,  
the playing field will expand dramatically as races in those states come into  
full focus. 
There will be a lot happening, and the intensity will be ratcheted up. 
But the spirit of the grassroots organizing we have done here -- of  ordinary 
people taking back the political process -- will be apparent in  thousands of 
communities across the country. 
I believe more strongly than ever that this movement for change can do more  
than just win an election. Together, we can transform this country. 
Thank you for being part of this, 
Barack
