Obama Wins Mississippi (Spitball Politics)

Obama Wins Mississippi

Now with over 99% of the ballots counted, it's official: Barack Obama wins the Mississippi Democratic Primary!

Here are some of the results that count:

Male Voters:

Obama - 61%
Clinton - 38%

Female Voters:

Obama - 58%
Clinton - 39%

Black Voters:

Obama - 92%
Clinton - 8%

White Voters:

Obama - 26%
Clinton - 70%

Aged 17-64:

Obama - 63%
Clinton - 35%

Aged 55+:

Obama - 43%
Clinton - 55%

Income < $50,000:

Obama - 66%
Clinton - 31%

Income > $50,000:

Obama - 52%
Clinton - 45%

Just from these numbers (from the MSNBC Polls), I think it's evident that there's a definite racial gap in Mississippi, but it looks like Clinton's losing her grasp on the female, the rich, and the old voters who swung more toward Obama in the last two contests than ever before.

Also, he pulled away by another 17 or so delegates last night...

...and sealed up his 30th win!

If only he'd consider running as VP this whole thing could be over. Which begs the question, Hilary as Obama's VP, yeah or nay?

I think the longer she stays in the nomination race, the worse her chances are of securing the spot. The nasty vibe coming out of her camp is really starting to hurt her chances of any political life after 2008. For example, this whole Gerry Ferraro race-baiting thing (which I'm posting about later this evening), it's really getting underhanded and a not a little offensive the way she's being two-faced about it. And now it's all Obama's fault!

Yup. I thought about posting on Ferraro but haven't had time.
