The Illinois Democrat also prevailed in the Louisiana Primary.
Here's a thought...if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, it could as a result of his prowess in winning convention delegates who are chosen in the least Democratic fashion--caucuses. Unlike primary elections, caucuses do not utilize secret ballots, and are dominated (it's the same for Republicans) by party activists and those on extreme ends of the party spectrum. In other words, not your average Jane or Joes.
Super delegates, who are appointed delegates who are usually elected officials (but not elected by primary or caucus voters to participate in the Democratic National Convention) or union leaders, may be put into the position of deciding the Democrats' presidential nominee. That person may be Hillary Clinton, but if it's Obama...he'll be a small "d" Democratic choice in November.
Is that the kind of "change we can believe in?"
Obama is obviously aware that his paltry three-ish years as a US Senator pales in comparison to the résumé of John McCain and (gulp) Hillary Rodham Clinton. So he this evening he once again dug into his "Cult of Change" bag of tricks.
From AP:
(Obama) jabbed simultaneously at Clinton and Arizona Sen. John McCain, saying the election was a choice between debating the Republican nominee-in-waiting "about who has the most experience in Washington, or debating him about who's most likely to change Washington. Because that's a debate we can win."
The junior senator of Illinois has never run anything larger than a legislative office.
