From CNN:
According to CNN, as of this morning, Senator Obama netted 9 more delegates than Senator Clinton (20-11, though those numbers will probably change). Add to that the net gain of 4 delegates from Wyoming (Obama got 9, Clinton got 5) and you have 13.Sen. Barack Obama claimed victory by a wide margin over Sen. Hillary Clinton in Mississippi's Democratic primary Tuesday.
"What we've tried to do is steadily make sure that in each state we are making the case about the need for change in this country. Obviously the people in Mississippi responded," Obama told CNN after his win.
Mississippi had 33 pledged delegates up for grabs, which will be allocated proportionally.
With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, Obama had 61 percent of the vote, compared with Clinton's 37 percent.
Looks like Senator Obama has made up whatever gains Senator Clinton posted in Texas, Rhode Island and Ohio.
CNN has him up by 130 delegates (162 if you don't count the superdelegates).
Mississippi doesn't count, Hillary said so and neither do the other 26 or so Obama won. The only ones that count are the 14 Hillary won, cause Hillary said so. If Obama would have only won 1/3 of the states what are the odds he would still be running? Slim and none
