Barack Obama has topped a Clinton in another
contest: the Grammys.
The presidential candidate beat both former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter to win best spoken word album for the audio version of his book "The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream."
Clinton was nominated for his book "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World" and Carter for "Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World." Also nominated were Maya Angelou and Alan Alda.
Though Clinton and Carter lost, they both have won the category before, Clinton winning twice. And Hillary Rodham Clinton took home a Grammy in 1996 for her audio version of the book, "It Takes A Village."

Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are both up for Best Spoken Word Album of the Year at the Grammys.
Clinton's audio book called, Giving: How Each Of Us Can Change The World is up against Obama's book on tape, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts of Reclaiming The American Dream. Clinton already owns two Grammys. Obama has one. Both men have won in the audio book category before. Coming up on Newschannel 3 Tonight, we'll let you know if either man will add another trophy to his shelf.
Brad Paisley, Michael W. Smith and Ricky Skaggs are also up for awards Sunday night. Paisley is from Glen Dale, WV. He's nominated for three awards including Best Country Album of the year. Smith is from Kenova. He is up for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. Skaggs was born in Cordell which is in Lawrence County, Kentucky.
He's nominated for Best Southern Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album of the year.

Billb, yeah McCain will keep it safe by banning guns.
To Lacey: I don't like McCain but I do trust him to keep the country safe as possible.I say Hillary and Obama love this country but they have a poor way of showing it.
Billb, you might want to check into McCain a little more. Many conservatives consider him too liberal since he co-sponsored a bill with Feingold. Also, speaking of guns, the NRA doesn't like McCain because of his support of the "gun show loophole" bill. They've spoken out against him on numerous occasions. He's not considered a "friend of the nra."
