from washington post:
CANTON, Mississippi - It was evident from the time Sen. Hillary Clinton's motorcade pulled up to the multipurpose center here that she was stepping into Obama territory. His supporters at the door loudly chanted O-B-A-M-A, held up giant signs and outnumbered Clinton fans three to one. Her backers held up signs too, but they seemed to think winning Mississippi may require divine intervention for their candidate. One woman's sign read: "Hillary '08, Please God."
Clinton was the special guest at the state's annual Jefferson-Jackson-Hamer Dinner, but Obama's presence was felt around the cavernous, half-empty room. His face was plastered on the program with hers, his supporters taped Obama signs on railings throughout the facility.
Clinton warmed the crowd of a few hundred Mississippi Democrats by pulling on her Arkansas roots, telling them that she won the neighboring state with 70 percent of the vote, "including all three counties in the Delta."
Polls show Obama leads her here by a wide margin, but Clinton said she intended to compete in Tuesday's primary anyway.
