Obama Seduces Virgin Islands

All of Barack Obama’s support does not lie in the continental United States. This past weekend he swept not 4 but 5 presidential primaries and caucuses. In addition to the wins I reported here, he also won the Virgin Islands Democratic Caucus. He beat Hillary Clinton by upwards of 80%.

Unlike Obama’s victory in Indonesia on Tempestuous Tuesday, the Virgin Islands, an American territory, contribute voting delegates to the Democratic Convention. Each of the 6 Virgin Islands Delegates counts as one-half a vote. With Obama’s overwhelming victory, he is almost assured to have 3 more full delegates. You can read more here. The Virginian Federalist is updating the Delegate Count on its sidebar accordingly.

A sweep of the Potomac Primaries today would give Obama 8 straight victories since Tempestuous Tuesday.

As a side note, we here at The Virginian Federalist are saddened by the fact that the folks over at The Daily Whackjob have not picked up on this story.
