Welcome to Kentucky/Oregon primary day!
*Oregon’s is a closed primary. Registerd Democrats only.
*52 delegates are at stake
*The entire state votes by mail-in ballot, unlike all others. This could complicate things, as this Washington Post article explains.
*The Oregonian newspaper says turnout is likely to top 1 million. But that’s below their all-time record.
*Like Oregon, Kentucky’s a closed primary. Registered Democrats only.
*51 delegates are at stake.
It looks as if both Obama & Clinton will chalk up a win today.
But Barack Obama’s may be the more significant one, in that he could cross the threshold of a majority of pledged delegates offered in the entire contest.
Hillary’s got another trick up her sleeve, though. After today, she plans to claim she has won the popular vote.
What do you think? Who will win? Post a comment!
