Obama Wins Mississippi

Barack Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the latest Democratic contest in Mississippi. It is harder and harder to imagine a scenario where HRC wins the nomination. The math is definitely in Obama's favor!

What if Florida and Michigan gets to seat delegates? Who will that help?

Well, I think it IS important that those states are represented in some fashion, but they did break the rules.... ....so will Michigan be a re-vote? That would help. As far as Florida? It will probably get ugly. But even if those delegations are seated and HRC wins the remaining states, Obama will still be ahead in pledged delegates. And I do not think the super delegates will give it to her in that case. She doesn't have much of a chance at this point...

About Me

My photo
Lima, Ohio, United States
I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
