Obama’s Wins on Saturday Come as No Surprise

Obama’s three-state sweep this Saturday that included the caucuses in Washington and Nebraska and the primary in Louisiana came as no surprise to either the Obama or Clinton campaign. Obama’s track record has been better in caucuses, and he has done well among black voters, who made up about fifty percent of voters in the Louisiana primary.

The New York Times reported that Obama received the support of about two-thirds of those attending the caucuses in Washington and Nebraska to about one-third for Mrs. Clinton.

Today, Clinton and Obama campaigned in Maine, which holds its caucuses on Sunday. Later on, the two candidates headed south to Virginia where they were scheduled to speak this evening at the state party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson day fund-raiser.
