Obama wins in Mississippi, extending his delegate lead over Hillary, and the mothership remains -- despite a few bad weeks -- fully operational.
Interesting observation from Talking Points Memo about Obama doing well among lower and middle-income voters:
Late Update: Political obsessives were asking today what sort of results Obama would get among whites in this deep south state. The exits show that he got barely a quarter. She only won a meager one out of 10 blacks.
But, in an interesting finding, Obama won handily among low and middle income voters, indeed among almost all income groups, and only lost to Hillary among voters with a family income over $75,000.
Also, the good people of Mississippi viewed Hillary as the "negative" candidate and thought her attacks crosses the line threshold.
Bow down.
Meanwhile, Hillary -- who started the day getting dissed by Nancy Pelosi -- best dump and disavow this dumb cracker right quick. I think Wigderson has received more than his fair share of entertainment from this primary.
Fully-operational mothership indeed. And that makes me think of a couple quotes:
"Now witness for firepower of this fully armed and operational battestation!"
"This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it."
Funny thing, I'd always pictured Hillary and her campaign as the Empire. Bill would make a great Darth Vader, after all.
