    I'm not sure what's the difference between primaries and caucus; but just now Obama just won Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington and Virgin Islands over Hilary. I think a majority of them were above 60% (one of them was as high as 70%). Course these are projections by medias such as CNN.

    Yep, Barack swept them all tonight and won with huge margins. Amazing numbers from the USVI too, not that they really matter, but:

    Obama: 1772 votes (89.9%)
    Clinton: 149 votes (7.6%)

    Hillary has a very slim SUPER DELEGATE lead over Obama, but Obama has the most non-super delegates.

    If he wins all 3 states tonight however he should have more super delegates than Hillary and thus officially be in the lead.

    Our system is flawed. Obama has won more states and thus should be in the lead, but he's not exactly...he's just right on Hillary's ass. Yeah I know, it's stupid.

    If Obama keeps blowing Hillary out in all these states though it might be a different story soon.

    Yea that makes no sense.
    I understand that each state needs to have equal influence (right?), but I really don't understand how he can't be in the lead if he has more states...

    I'm 20. No. I didn't. I currently don't have a mode of transportation. And I have to register at a DMV, which is in another city. I'm hoping I can sort it out by November but I don't know..

    Virginia was the only state tonight that anyone said Hillary even had a chance at winning, and she's losing that one by a landslide.

    I'm calling MD and DC for Obama even though a single vote hasn't been counted based on that fact alone :lol:
