Obama Clinton both Win

Obama running away with delegates

Hey folks,

Oregon
Obama (W) 58%
Clinton 42%

» 86% of precincts reporting
Kentucky
Clinton (W) 65%
Obama 30%

» 100% of precincts reporting

As the AP puts it.

Once all the delegates were allocated from Tuesday's contests in Oregon and Kentucky, however, Obama was expected to be within 60 of the magic 2,026 needed to cinch the nomination. With 80 percent of the vote counted, he was winning Oregon by a 58-42 percent margin.

No surprises again, this was expected. As a matter of fact, Clinton KEEPS winning. It is just to late to catch him.

Clinton won at least 54 delegates in the delegates from Kentucky and Oregon and Obama won at least 39, according to an analysis of election returns by The Associated Press. All 51 delegates from Kentucky were awarded but there were still 10 of 52 to be allocated in Oregon.

Obama has an overall total of 1,956 delegates, including endorsements from party and elected officials known as superdelegates. Clinton has 1,776, including superdelegates, according the latest tally by the AP.

But of course, nothing changed.

"Neither Senator Obama nor I will have reached that magic number when the voting ends on June 3," she said Tuesday night in Kentucky. "And so, our party will have a tough choice to make — who's ready to lead our party at the top of our ticket, who is ready to defeat Senator McCain in the swing states and among swing voters."

An impossible choice is more like it. A no win situation. Then of course she went into a rant about Michigan and Florida counting. Remember, she did it. She agreed with it. She demanded it. She got it. They do not count.

Still to come?
