So if Obama wins more states and more delegates (by only 4), is he the marginal winner tonight? |
|
You would have to think so. Again, the delegate count is certainly not final, but if this does hold, Clinton can talk about California, but Obama takes the lead in the perception battle, especially with the upcoming states which favor him.

4. This is the smart game Obama has run since the beginning, |
|
not much Hillary can do at convention time if she shows up short some delegates, and even the super delegates are with in 90 of the two candidates. Avery interesting race this is.

5. But popular vote went to Clinton |
|
She won more votes overall apparently.
I would consider it a straight tie.
