Obama wins 8 in a row! That's how most of the headlines are reading as this week draws to a close. “Tonight we're on our way!” Obama could be heard telling his supporters as the results came rolling in. As reported by the LA Daily news, Obama has pulled into the lead with 1,210 delegates, while Hillary pulls up the rear with 1,188. Both of them are still a ways away from the required 2,025 delegates required to win the primary.
It may not be so surprising that Obama is winning states over Clinton, but what is surprising is the margin in which he is doing so. In DC, Obama pulled in about 75% of the vote and in Virginia, he managed about 62%. As most people can agree, these are definite majorities.
Further adding to the agony of defeat that Clinton is currently experiencing, her deputy campaign manager, Mike Henry, resigned to leave the campaign in the hands of Maggie williams to build her own team. Clinton was quoted by the NY Daily News as saying, “I'm tested, I'm ready, let's make it happen.” Whether or not this new change in Clinton's campaign will lead to positive results in the remaining primaries we will have to wait and see.
