Barack
Obama drew a record crowd of 75,000 people in
Portland, Oregon this month (above)
The states of Kentucky and Oregon
both held their primaries yesterday, for both the Republican and
Democratic parties. With the full results in for Kentucky,
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton scored a hefty win with 65%
of the vote and 37 delegates, with Barack Obama trailing at
30% and 14 delegates. Republican candidate
John McCain was the clear winner in KY with 72%
of the vote and 42 delegates; Mike Huckabee followed up with
8% (16,239 votes) and Congressman Ron Paul
at 7% (13,439 votes).
As of now, about 86% of the
precincts have reported their results for the state of
Oregon.
Barack Obama has the lead in Oregon with
58% of the vote and 21 delegates thusfar;
Hillary Clinton is about 16% behind with 42%
of the vote and 14 delegates.
As for the Republicans in
Oregon, Ron Paul faired much better in the Beaver
State: Paul got 45,114 votes so far, claiming 15%
of the vote - though still about 70% behind Senator
John McCain.
The state of Oregon did not have
Republican candidate Mike Huckabee on the ballot, as
Huckabee willingly withdrew from the presidential
race.
Apparently Oregon is smarter than most of us states - why
in the world do so many states keep people on the ballot who have
chosen to drop out?
