And also picks up Washington, Nebraska, and Louisiana.
Then he made his case to the American people from Virginia, which will vote this Tuesday.
“This fall we owe the American people a real choice, it’s the choice about debating John McCain about who has the most experience in Washington or who is most likely to change Washington, because that is a debate we can win. It’s the choice between debating John McCain about lobbying reform with a nominee who has taken more money from lobbyists than he has or doing it with campaign that hasn’t taken a dime of their money because we’ve been funded by you the American people. It’s a choice between taking on John McCain with republicans and independents who are already united against us or running against him with a campaign that is uniting Americans of all parties around a common purpose. There is a reason why the last six polls in a row show that I’m the strongest candidate against John McCain because I have done better among independents in almost every single contest we’ve had that’s why we won more red states and swing states that the next democratic nominee needs to win in November…John McCain will not be able to say that I supported the war in Iraq, he won’t be able to say that I supported giving George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran, he won’t be able to say that I follow the Bush Cheney doctrine of not talking to leaders we don’t like.”
Interesting from LA exit polls, 50% of the people who voted Obama in Louisiana do not like the idea of Hillary nomination. While 65% of the people who voted Clinton say they would be dissatisfied with an Obama nomination. This is going to be ugly if it is decided by the Super Delegates. Obama is on a roll can he carry it through Tuesday and the Potomac Primary?

Big wins for Obama today. But really, despite the polls, do you believe a 46-year old admitted black druggie with one Senate term is that much better equipped to take on the GOP? Yes, maybe more independents like Obama—but that’s because he’s more centrist than Hillary. Either Hillary or Obama would face a fierce GOP challenge. But neither has the edge nationally, despite these early polls. It’s wayyyy too early to decide who will be better against the GOP. Iraq could change—most likely for the worse—as the awakening councils amass power and fragment. Then McCain becomes worthless. By July, the economy could be in ruins. It goes on and on…
