Former Vice President Joe Biden told supporters in Los Angeles on Tuesday night that his campaign is proof that in politics, anything can happen.

"It's a good night," Biden declared. "Things are looking awful, awful good." After dismal showings in the early primaries, Biden's luck turned around this weekend in South Carolina, where he easily won the primary. By the time Biden took the stage in Los Angeles, he was the projected winner of seven Super Tuesday primaries.
