Obama Wins Mississippi

No surprise. Fox called it one nanosecond after the polls closed. It's probably going to be a pretty big margin of victory.

UPDATE: Obama 58%, Clinton 40%

UPDATE 2: Looks like the Republicans had a little fun in the open primary:

(CNN) — Are some of Mississippi's Republicans trying to cause mischief? Thirteen percent of the voters in today's Democratic primary identified themselves as Republican; they voted for Clinton, 78 percent to 22 percent. And 37 percent of the Democratic primary voters have a favorable opinion of John McCain; this group also went for Clinton, 62 percent to 37 percent.

Earlier this month, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh told listeners that since the Republican race was all but over, they should turn out for Clinton, because of his view that she would be a weaker fall opponent for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — but there is no statistical evidence to indicate his instructions played any role in the Mississippi results.

Rush didn't ask Republicans to vote for Hillary in this contest because Obama was going to win big either way. However, I think he'll be pushing the "Rush the Vote" idea again come Pennsylvania.

And then there's this:

Blacks make up about 37 percent of the state’s population, the highest concentration in the nation. Nearly half the voters in Tuesday’s Democratic primary were black, and they went for Obama by a split of 9-to-1.

A majority of voters said race was not an issue for them.

Yeah, right.
