Obama Wins Oregon, Clinton Kentucky
Barack Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Oregon primary Tuesday and moved within 100 delegates of the total needed to claim the prize at the party convention this summer.
Clinton won the Kentucky primary by more than 2-to-1, but that win was eclipsed by Obama's movement closer to locking up the Democratic nomination. Obama's Oregon win may propel more party superdelegates to support him. In Oklahoma, he now has the support of five of the 10 superdelegates, while Clinton has just one, and there is speculation that at least one more Oklahoman will declare for him in short order.
