Obamalicious!

Well, Obama had about as good of a night as could have been expected. He and Clinton are about tied for delegates, though she supposedly has more super delegates. But the upcoming war of attrition likely benefits Obama more than Clinton who has really relied on the whole inevitability rationale for her candidacy. He took 13 states to her 8 and got close enough in the big states he lost to dig into her delegates. 

I would loved for him to have taken California, but that was always a long shot. His win in Missouri, though, is huge. Missouri is not only a bellwether state in the general election, but virtually everyone who's won the presidency won Missouri in their party's primary. It was a squeaker, but in this case, a win's a win. 

Congratulations to Obama and his team!
