Top Obama strategist David Axelrod, interviewed by CBN, is asked about key turning points in the battle for the nomination:
"It's been a long campaign Dave, so if I, as I go over it, there are many turn- there are many watershed events, but obviously Iowa, the JJ Dinner in Iowa when he had a chance to stand up with the other candidates and speak in a fulsome way about where he wanted to lead this country in front of a crowd of 9,000 people. That was his night and it was a great night and it gave us momentum that carried us through to the caucuses - winning the caucuses, but not just winning them, winning them on a day when twice as many people participated as ever before was a hugely important boost for the campaign. I think South Carolina was very important. You know it was a very tough week. We had a very acrimonious debate with Sen. Clinton. There was some ugliness surrounding that week, some questions about whether he could put the coalition together to win, and he ended up winning by 30 points. That was an important event."
