NPR: Obama Wins Hawaii Caucuses

Obama Wins Hawaii Caucuses

Sen. Barack Obama made it two for two Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and ten in a row with a victory in the Hawaii caucuses. That win came after his victory Tuesday evening in the Wisconsin primary.

The Associated Press reports that "the Illinois senator's Wisconsin victory left him with 1,303 delegates in The Associated Press' count, compared with 1,233 for Clinton, a margin that masks his 145-delegate lead among those picked in primaries or caucuses. It takes 2,025 to win the nomination at the party's national convention in Denver. Allocation of the 20 Hawaii delegates was not being calculated until later Wednesday."
