Obama Projected to Win Oregon Primary
 Email This
Sen. Barack Obama, rebounding from two losses in a row, appeared headed to a victory in Oregon’s Democratic primary, just hours after his campaign claimed a majority of the delegates awarded in primaries and caucuses. 
His rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, carried Kentucky earlier in the evening as the two continued to battle back and forth for the Democratic nomination.
“Now some may see the millions upon millions of votes cast for each of us as evidence that our party is divided,” Obama said in a speech from Des Moines earlier in the evening. “I see it as evidence that we have never been more united in efforts to take this country in a new direction.” The first round of results came in just after 8 p.m. PT, or 11 p.m. ET. Oregon has a vote-by-mail process where voters send their ballots by mail and are not required to enter a voting booth. Because of this, there are no exit polls that networks usually use to project the winner.
Telephone interviews conducted by the Associated Press shed some light on Oregon’s voters, finding the working-class white vote — a demographic that normally favors Clinton — was split evenly between the two candidates. The same survey also showed that Clinton only won among voters over 65 years old and those earning less than $30,000 a year.
Earlier in the evening, Clinton captured a decisive victory in Kentucky as expected and said that her campaign would continue on to Montana, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico.

Why has the media never asked Obama to be more specific: "Change" from what to what?? and isn't a woman president also "change we can believe in"??
Why have those who have been making sexist comments/reports about Hillary Clinton not been called "sexist"? If similar remarks were made about Obama, they would be called "racist", and rightly so.
An educated Clinton supporter.
Look, the "RACE-GAP" is a THOUSAND times more arduous to surmount for an AFR-AM candidate than for a WHITE CANDIDATE to overcome the "CATHOLIC-GAP" or the "GENDER-GAP" - - -
Has an AFR-AM person EVER been elected to congress from WVA or KY, in the past 143 years, since EMANCIPATION ??????
And by the way, has McCain or HRC ever get any DEATH THREATS while campaigning ??
Hillary is looking and sounding more like "Baghdad Bob" heading towards the same end.
So Hillary won with ALL the Racist voters she has been wooing for the last two months - -
What - a - SURPRISE !!!!!!!
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO HRC and HER SUPPORTERS THAT WE INDEPENDANTS and SOME FORMER REPUBLICANS I KNOW OF, WILL NEVBER VOTE FOR THAT PHONY Hillary IF SHE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO STEAL THE NOMINATION FROM OBAMA ??!!
The shameless, bigoted MSM are GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY to ONLY FOCUS on the (racist) group of the electorate who WILL NEVER VOTE FOR AN AFR-AM MAN, EVER!
GREAT JOB MSM !!
