Last Night, Obama posted landslide wins in the Nebraska and Washington state caucuses, and in the Louisiana primary. He also won the Virgin Islands caucuses. Obama added many more delegates in his historic run for the presidential nomination.
While Senator Obama had been expected to win the contests on Saturday, the margin of victories were surprising, particularly in Nebraska and Washington, which offered the day’s biggest pool of delegates. In both states, he captured 68 percent of the vote in caucuses, compared with Clinton’s roughly 32 percent.
Obama celebrated his victories in a rousing speech to his supporters at the the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Richmond, Virginia. “We won in Louisiana, we won in Nebraska, we won in Washington state,” Mr. Obama proclaimed. “We won North, we won South, we won in between. And I believe that we can win in Virginia on Tuesday if you’re ready to stand for change.”
Photographs, a photo-gallery (with music audio) and videos (Obama's 2008 Jefferson-Jackson speech and the "Yes We Can" celebrity music video) are included.
