Obama is Going to Win Washington's Primary

None of the media organizations seems ready to call it yet, but it sure looks like Barack Obama will win our non-binding Democratic primary.

He's leading the statewide vote count by 2.6%. He's winning in King County 54.2% to Hillary Clinton's 43.5% as I type. Throw in the poll votes there and the fact that currently King County has over 40% of the remaining statewide absentees/mail-in votes that will be tallied in the coming days and it is very, very hard to see a scenario where Clinton wins this beauty contest.

UPDATE: typos fixed, ironically one in the sentence including the phrase "as I type."

1. Quick someone call for a DOC. I think Old Duffie may have a heart attack!
Come on Duffie, do it the Demo-krat way. Just vote 5 or 6 times for Billary, that may just do the trick.

Man it's a great day. (-:

PS Did anyone notice that Hillary took a swipe at her own daughter. Times are harder for the Clinton camp.

2. This looks especially grim for Clinton who's gone on record saying that Caucus' are undemocratic.

With her losses in the Washington and Wisconsin primary's she will have no one to blame but herself.

3. Unfortunately for Hillary she lost the contest that meant something, and she lost the contest that was meaningless, despite the efforts of her supporters and the disinterest of everyone else.

You've got to believe that if Obama was the one who had just lost 10 contests in a row she'd be saying he should pack it in. Clinton continues to get a pass. The Texas result will probably end that.
