Sen. Barack Obama won Mississppi last night, winning 61% of the vote and therefore 19 delegates. Mississippi is the state with the highest African-American population and Obama won a whopping 92% of the black vote. But Sen. Hillary Clinton didn't go home empty-handed. She won 37% of the vote, but grabbed 14 delegates. Not bad. She still trals Obama with 1,480 delegates to his 1,611. Remember- the first one to 2,025 wins!
I wonder:
Should Florida and Michigan's punishments be lifted and be permitted to re-do their primaries? They would probably favor Clinton, because she won a great majority of the votes in the states originally, a month ago.
Look out for Pennsylvania. The primary will occur in 6 weeks and that's the golden ticket to grab. One candidate will grab it. If it's evenly split...then the battle continues, and maybe something else must be done to declare a clear winner. But if that something else are the superdelegates...how just will their decision be?
