Hillary menang delegates sementara Obama lebih unggul menyebar di negara bagian.
Keduanya tidak memberikan speech kemenangan dan keduanya berkampanye tidak saling menjelekkan lagi. Mereka sadar, tidak boleh membuat kesalahan karena pertarungan ini diperkirakan akan sampai pada bulan Agustus di Denver. Ternyata, endorsement dari keluarga Kennedy tidak berpengaruh, Hillary menang di Massachusets dan California. Obama juga membuat kejutan dengan menang di banyak negara "kulit putih" (Missouri, Connecticut). Keuntungannya, Obama duitnya masih lebih banyak dari Hillary. Sehingga masih bisa kampanye untuk membayar media, ibaratnya napas Obama masih lebih panjang daripada Hillary. ============ First round goes to Obama Agence France Presse Jakarta. United States Democratic Party voters in Indonesia, where Barack Obama spent part of his childhood, handed him a win over Hillary Clinton in the first voting abroad on "Super Tuesday," party officials said. Seventy-five percent of nearly 100 votes cast by expatriate Americans just past midnight (1700 GMT Monday) went to Obama and 25 percent went to Clinton, Democrats Abroad officials here said. Results still need formal verification. Registered Democrats in Indonesia's capital Jakarta were the first to vote in person on the day of the U.S. mega-primary, which will select more than half the delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August. The convention will in turn choose the party's presidential candidate in the race for the White House. Democrats are voting Tuesday in 21 states across the United States as well as American Samoa. Voting for Democrats living overseas has now also begun and will last until Feb. 12. They will send 22 delegates to the convention at which they will have a combined 11 votes. Arian Ardie, the chairman of Democrats Abroad's Indonesia committee, said Democratic officials here tried to create a buzz similar to that surrounding the New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch. The midnight vote in that state's primary on Jan. 8 was keenly watched by both campaigns and media alike despite its tiny size. Only 17 people voted this year in Dixville Notch 10 in the Democratic primary and seven in the Republican primary. "It was really our idea in order to perhaps differentiate ourselves from the other voting centers," Ardie said, referring to the decision to open voting at midnight. Obama moved to Indonesia when he was six after his divorced mother remarried an Indonesian foreign student. "It was very powerful. I had an Indonesian stepfather. I went to an Indonesian-speaking school," the Illinois senator has said of his time in the world's most populous Muslim nation. "It gave me an enormous appreciation for the magnificent culture and history of Asia. It gave me a great love for the people of Asia," he said. The Republican Party, which will hold Super Tuesday primaries in 21 states, does not elect convention delegates from overseas. ================== Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/ Yahoo!
