Now, some of Obama's were caucuses, but that's pretty decent for the guy who was polling 20 behind not so long ago. Also it's interesting to note that while Obama pulled over 60% in his home state of Illinois, he pulled off a big chunk of Clinton's support in New York-- 40%.
I like Clinton-- nearly voted for her in the primary, will vote for her in the general-- but I was surprised by these numbers. She's fighting off some big percentages, and that 40% for Obama here in NY means more delegates than she had expected to lose. Of course she did grab Calif and NY, no small feat. It just looks like she needs to stave off the Obama Advance.
