Pictures: Obama Beats Clinton – at the Grammys

See More... Barack Obama got the better of Clinton – Bill Clinton, that is – in a different kind of run-off this weekend.

The Democratic presidential hopeful won the Grammy for best spoken word album on Sunday for the audio edition of his book, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. The Illinois Senator beat out two former presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, to claim the trophy. (Maya Angelou and Alan Alda also vied for the prize.)

Although it was not Clinton's year, the author of Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World has won the category twice before.

Obama's current political rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, won in 1996 for It Takes a Village.

The two Democrats remain locked in a heated battle for the presidential nomination.

Well regardless 2008 will make history with either the first BLACK president or the first LADY president! Good luck to them both!

Hillary Clinton is fast becoming an "Idiot". Here is a woman who had an assumed victory base of 62% at the beginning of her campaign for President. She slowly destroyed her base by her dysfunctional personality and evil "ego". The woman is a "Devil". I clearly understand now, why Bill plays around. What man would want to deal with her on a daily basis. Also she should not be VP for Obama!! She's too selfish and would not help him. She can't even admit her defeat!! Hello Lady, YOU LOST!!
