Oregon and Kentucky Vote Today: Obama Closer to Nomination

    Despite a late poll, by a small college in Oregon, that Obama  leads Hillary Clinton by five points, listening to residents of Portland and Eugene, one would think that this should be at least a double digit win for Senator Obama today, May 20th, 2008.
    For the first time ever, in this state, Barack Obama drew a crowd of 75,000 over the weekend in Portland.
    Unless this turns out to be like the 1972 McGovern campaign in the general election, where he drew thousands of the youthful in speeches around the country, but they didn't show up to vote on election day---this should be a monumental success for the Senator from Illinois.
    It what appears to be more of an east-west primary election, Senator Hillary Clinton, will do well in Kentucky today, but the math is still her enemy.

    Senator Obama, because of the proportional division in delegates for all of the Democratic primaries, will draw closer to the nomination, and may, with super-delegates, put away the contest in a week or so.

    He will appear in Iowa tonight--the state that launched his quest for the White House--and once again dispel the fact that he can't get the "White Vote."  (I still can't believe that in 2008, we are talking about race, in the Democratic Primary---40 years after the murder of Dr. King.)

    In the final analysis, I believe that Obama did well, because of his positive attitude and a smile that reminds me of a combination of President's Eisenhower, and John Kennedy.
