Breaking News: OBAMA Blows through the Pine Tree State/Maine!! Another Victory for the Senator from the Windy City! Clinton Shake-up
The Omentum seems to continue as Barack Obama adds another victory to his sweep of victories this weekend. This will be the fifth victory in a row for the Senator from Illinois. The Maine caucus was one where the Clinton campaign thought that they would be able to pull out a win due to the positive numbers that they received in the state recently. Clinton also hoped to win Maine in an effort to blunt Obama’s momentum going into the Feb 12th primaries. Apparently, Maine voters had a different plan in mind. Both campaigns saturated the state with radio and TV advertising. The excitement about the caucus, even after the pinnacle of Super Tuesday, was not diminished. There was tremendous anticipation and exhileration among voters showing up at the polls. Not even the frigid temperatures could chill the enthusiasm of many of those who stood in long lines to make sure that their vote was cast. Each of the candidates will receive a proportional share of the 24 delegates allotted. As a side note: Hillary Clinton replaced her campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. This new development took place on Sunday, right after Clinton lost four contests in a row to Obama. The Clinton campaign has stated that Maggie Williams will be taking over as campaign manager beginning next week.
