COLUMBIA, S.C. - The most prominent and influential Democrat in South Carolina said Friday that the first debate of the 2008 presidential campaign did not fundamentally change the early race - but that Hillary Rodham Clinton did very well, Barack Obama did not fare as well, and Joe Biden did the best to emerge from the second tier.

"I don’t think it changed the race at all," Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the majority whip of the U.S. House of Representatives, told McClatchy Newspapers in an interview.

But he singled out Clinton, a senator from New York, and Biden, a senator from Delaware, for their performances.

"Hillary Clinton did herself a lot of good," Clyburn said. " She looked crisp, in control."
