Obama Wins WI – 9th In A Row

Barack Obama leads Hillary Clinton 56-43% in the Wisconsin Primary, with 38% reporting, to win his 9th straight state contest. Later tonight, Washington state will report the results of their non-binding primary and Hawaii, Obama’s birthplace, will report the results of their caucus.

Obama polled strong among women and working-class voters, thought to be a stronghold of Clinton.

John McCain, meanwhile, secured a win in Wisconsin over Mike Huckabee to inch closer to the republican nomination.

Obama, speaking to a crowd in Houston, Texas said, “Houston, I think we’ve achieved lift-off here,” Obama told supporters in Texas. “The change we seek is still months and miles away and we need the good people of Texas to help us get there.” Texas holds its primary/caucus on Marh 4th along with Ohio.
