Obama Wins Louisiana, Washington, Virgin Islands

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama swept the Louisiana primary and caucuses in Nebraska and Washington state Saturday night, slicing into Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s slender delegate lead in their historic race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Illinois senator also won caucuses in the Virgin Islands, completing his best night of the campaign.

His winning margins were substantial, ranging from roughly two-thirds of the vote in Washington state and Nebraska to nearly 90 percent in the Virgin Islands. With returns counted from more than one-third of the Louisiana precincts, he was gaining 53 percent of the vote, to 39 percent for the former first lady.

As in his earlier Southern triumphs in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, Obama, a black man, rode a wave of African-American support to victory in Louisiana.

I wonder how this will play tomorrow? The guy easily won 4 primaries and Hillary isn’t batting an eye. Is this a good strategy for her?

That pro-Obama graphic really shows your bias to the Messiah. This biased blog is a waste of time.

Just a friendly reminder.

Only delegates count.

Not states.

Only delegates.

Not popular votes.

Only delegates.

Justin Gardener’s Hillary-hatred is politics-as-usual. His tween groupie worship of Obama is a waste of time.
