LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Fresh from their feud on the campaign trail, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama beat Bill Clinton in a contest almost as closely watched as the primaries being waged across the United States -- the music industry's Grammy Awards.

Obama on Sunday won the spoken word Grammy for the audiobook version of his blockbuster tome "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." It marked his second statuette, following a win in 2006 for "Dreams From My Father," an audiobook for a memoir first published in 1995.

The Illinois senator, who is engaged in a neck-and-neck race with Clinton's wife, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, for the Democratic presidential nomination, was not present at the awards ceremony in downtown Los Angeles. He was scheduled to attend a rally in Virginia later in the day.

Bill Clinton was seeking his third Grammy with "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World," a call to public service. Another former Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, also was in the running, with "Sunday Morning in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World," a collection of Bible lessons. Carter won the award last year.

4. Personally I would have chosen Maya.

5. Really hard to understand how anyone could knock anything to do with the wonderful book Bill Clinton

wrote. It is about kindness and giving and how we can help make the world a better place. Tips for being petty and nasty weren't in it. I assume you didn't read it.

6. Dude. Chill.

Thanks for your judgment. Both books are sitting within arm's reach.

I find it interesting that Obama and ClintonInc are going head-to-head, even at the Grammys.

"Giving" is great but "Hope" is the deserving winner, as is the author.
