Obamarama

By Eric on February 13, 2008

It’s a good day to be Barack Obama.

Those numbers are pretty incredible. He beat Hillary Clinton 2-to-1 in Virginia and Maryland and 3-to-1 in DC, and he won the Latino vote in Virginia. As for the delegate count, CNN’s numbers put him in the lead:

According to NBC Political Director Chuck Todd, Hillary needs to win Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania by about 63% to catch Obama if he wins Wisconsin and Hawaii. How likely is that? Well, probably not very. Let’s compare the number of states that each of them has won with 60% of the vote or more:

Obama:

• Virginia
• Maryland
• Washington, DC
•  Illinois
• Georgia
• Washington
• Nebraska
• Minnesota
• Alaska
• Idaho
• Kansas
• North Dakota
• Colorado

Clinton:

• Arkansas

When Barack Obama wins, he really wins. Of the 23 states he’s won, he’s taken over 60% of the votes in more than half of them. With the exception of Arkansas, Hillary Clinton is just eking out Obama for narrow finishes. This race isn’t going to be over until it’s over, but with Clinton’s superdelegates “wavering” and her husband’s ex-campaign staff jumping on the Obama bandwagon, she’s going to have to scramble for big wins on March 4.
