NBC News has just projected Baarack Obama the Winner in the Oregon Primary. We now have the results of tonight's double header.
Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton split the Oregon and Kentucky primaries Tuesday night, NBC News projected. Obama proclaimed that he had won "an absolute majority" of elected Democratic delegates and was "within reach" of the Democratic presidential nomination.Clinton, of New York, coasted to victory in Kentucky, while Obama, of Illinois, handily won in Oregon. The results all but ensured that Obama would claim the largest share of the delegates elected in the long primary and caucus and season.
This is what I and everyone else was expecting. The weekend before last I was canvassing in Oregon, and the support for Obama was overwhelming.
It's official Obama has now won the race for pledged delegates chosen in the States' primaries and caucuses. The upcoming primaries will add to Obama majority of pledged delegates. This is likely to attract more of the Super Delegates to Obama.
For Hillary to become the Nominee would mean that the Super Delegates would have to vote contrary to the decision rendered in the Democratic Primaries and Caucuses. If you think that the Super Delegates will see turning the Democratic Party into the Undemocratic Party as the best way to beat John W. McCain, then I've got some sub prime mortgages to sell you too.
With 68% reporting its:
Hillary 42%
Obama 58%
In Oregon Obama:
Won with Women
Won with Whites under 60 (and all voters under 65)
Won with Union Households
Won with Voters with no College Degree
