Barack Obama won the Democrats Abroad Primary, which had around 20′000 voters in over 160 countries voting for their democratic presidential preference. There was online voting and voting in person at various types of places around the globe. Sen. Barack Obama won the Primary with about 65% of the votes going his way. Obama gains another win and another couple of delegates for winning this contest. Is there anywhere as of recently that Clinton can win and legitimately stay in the hunt for the Presidency.
WASHINGTON - Barack Obama won the Democrats Abroad global primary in results announced Thursday, giving him 11 straight victories in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Illinois senator won the primary in which Democrats living in other countries voted by Internet, mail and in person, according to results released by the Democrats Abroad, an organization sanctioned by the national party.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has not won a nominating contest since Super Tuesday, more than two weeks ago.
More than 20,000 U.S. citizens living abroad voted in the primary, which ran from Feb. 5 to Feb. 12. Obama won about 65 percent of the vote, according to the results released Thursday.
Voters living in 164 countries cast votes online, while expatriates voted in person in more than 30 countries, at hotels in Australia and Costa Rica, at a pub in Ireland and at a Starbucks in Thailand. The results took about a week to tabulate as local committees around the globe gathered ballots.
“This really gives Americans an opportunity to participate,” said Christine Schon Marques, the international chair of Democrats Abroad.
The Democrats Abroad controls seven pledged delegates at the party’s national convention this summer. However, the group’s system of dividing the delegates is unique, and could create an anomaly in which Obama and Clinton end up with fractions of delegates.
The party will send 14 pledged delegates to the convention, each with a half vote. The primary was used to determine nine people, or the equivalent of 4.5 delegates. Obama won 2.5 and Clinton won two, according to Schon Marques.
The Democrats Abroad will hold a global convention in Vancouver, Canada, in April to select the other five people who will attend the convention. They will represent the remaining 2.5 votes.

McCain made it two for two in Washington by winning both its caucus and its primary. Exactly what this means, who knows. We do know that Washington likes John McCain and that he is one step closer to the Republican nomination, which should occur anytime now. McCain got 13 delegates for winning the Caucus, and 14 for winning the Primary.

Sen. Barack Obama got his broom out Saturday, because he sweep the Democratic primaries and caucuses. Obama won Washington, Virgin Islands, Nebraska, and Louisiana. As this Democratic race keeps getting more and more tense be prpared to get on your galoshes, because it is going to get muddy.
”Today, voters from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast to the heart of America stood up to say ‘yes we can’” Obama told a cheering audience of Democrats at a party dinner in Richmond, Va.
He 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.”
Clinton preceded Obama to the podium. She did not refer to the night’s voting, instead turning against McCain. “We have tried it President Bush’s way,” she said, “and now the Republicans have chosen more of the same.”
She left quickly after her speech, departing before Obama’s arrival. But his supporters made their presence known, sending up chants of “Obama” from the audience as she made her way offstage.
Obama’s winning margins ranged from substantial to crushing.
He won roughly two-thirds of the vote in Washington state and Nebraska, and almost 90 percent in the Virgin Islands.
With returns counted from nearly two-thirds of the Louisiana precincts, he was gaining 53 percent of the vote, to 39 percent for the former first lady. As in his earlier Southern triumphs in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, Obama, a black man, rode a wave of African-American support to victory in Louisiana.

Sphere: Related ContentHuckabee Wins At Least Two Out Of Three
Mike Huckabee has won at least two out of the three caucuses/primaries that took place on the Saturday after Super Tuesday. Huckabee won Kansas handily and won Louisiana in a squeaker that no one gets any delegates from because of the inability of any candidate to garner 50% of the vote. The Washington State Caucus has still not been called because of the closeness of the candidates, currently McCain holds a slight lead over Huckabee with Ron Paul not that far behind of either.
Huckabee is continuing to surprise the pundits, as he continues his seemingly unacheiveable goal of beating John McCain to 1,191 delegate. Huckabee is almost 500 delegates behind McCain currently.

Put another in the win column for Mike Huckabee who has been, beaten up by the media the last couple of days by the media for staying in the republican presidential race despite his slight chances of gaining the nomination.
Mike Huckabee won the Kansas Republican caucuses Saturday, FOX News projects, demonstrating the lingering rift in the party after rival John McCain was minted the clear front-runner following Super Tuesday.
With 65 percent of precincts reporting, Huckabee had 61 percent and McCain had 24 percent. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 11 percent.
Both McCain and Huckabee were wooing conservatives in the state Friday. Huckabee had the support of anti-abortion activists , while McCain had the backing from conservative Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback.
Huckabee pledged Saturday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., that he would be staying in the race, even though Mitt Romney’s exit from the race earlier in the week made McCain the virtual heir to the GOP nomination.
Huckabee might turn this into a race if he keeps winning, though his chances are slim.
