We keep hearing about delegates, super delegates and even the popular vote when it comes to the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, but what about states? Barack Obama has already won that war, which is why we probably aren’t hearing about it.

Now, BHO has won 27 contests to Hillary Clinton’s 14. One of his wins was the Virgin Islands, so let’s change the score to BHO 26, HRC 14. The Clinton camp keeps on saying that there are 12 contests left, but only 10 of those are states (Guam and Puerto Rico aren’t states) and Obama looks like he is going to carry Wisconsin. Make the score BHO 27, HRC 14 once again, with only nine states remaining. Hillary could win all nine and still wouldn’t catch Barack Obama.

This needs to be talked about. Why? Because while I have no doubt that Obama can win big blue states like New York and California, I just don’t see Hillary competing in red and purple states as well as Obama can, with Ohio probably being the exception because of its unique and unfavorable demographics. She’s also basically said that many states don’t matter, something that could come back to haunt the Democratic party in the general election should she capture the nomination.

My point is, the ability to win as many states as possible definitely matters. Shouldn’t it matter now just as much as elected delegates and votes (I still expect Obama to win both, by the way)?

With all this bogus talk about Clinton momentum, lets’ take a look at the actual numbers as of today:

• Barack Obama didn’t lose any ground this week. Despite all the talk about Hillary Clinton’s big confetti–really, confetti when you are behind in a race that has a long ways to go?–victories, she only netted somewhere between plus-four to plus-10 delegates Tuesday. Obama netted plus-nine delegates in Washington D.C. alone.

• Barack Obama is way ahead in delegates. Even including super delegates, HRC is still at least 100 total delegates behind no matter who you ask.

• Barack Obama has won 27 out of 41 states. He has also won 13 of the last 16.

• Barack Obama is winning the total popular vote.

• Barack Obama crushed the monthly fundraising record by raising $55 million in February. HRC raised $35 million, and gloated about it for a week.

• Barack Obama beats John McCain 52-40 percent in the latest head-to-head poll. HRC only 50-44.

Who’s winning this race? Who still has momentum? Even at 3 AM those numbers aren’t fuzzy at all. Yes, we can!

I don’t even know what to say about this one. I guess, just see if you can actually make it all the way through. If you can, you’re more of a man, or woman, than I am. Just embarrassing. Trying to do anything “cool” should be off limits to anyone associated with Hillary’s camp. Stick to bread, butter and, well, boring.

What a night! Man, this is without a doubt the single most impressive night of Barack Obama’s astonishing political career. Here’s an excerpt from the front page of Drudge that sums up his dominance:

In the Chesapeake Rout, according to exit polls in Maryland, Obama won:
Latino Voters By Six Points: 53-47
All Religions (Including Catholics)
All Age Groups (Including Seniors)
All Regions
All Education Levels
And Women by TWENTY ONE POINTS…

But wait — there’s more. Obama won the White vote in Virginia. Say what!? OBAMA WON THE WHITE VOTE IN VIRGINIA! I really can’t believe that shit. A Black candidate named Barack Obama won White voters in Dixieland. He also apparently won Latino voters in Virginia, a bigger part of the electorate there than you might expect. And let’s not even talk about how handily he beat her in the District. Not pretty for HRC. Not at all.

What I’m curious to see is how the delusional Clinton spinning machine will play this latest round of defeats.

According to ABC News, Barack Obama has won the Democratic Main caucus. With 69 percent of the vote in, he leads 58 to 41 percent. His lead is growing, so let’s hope it grows some more so we can continue to rake in delegates!

So, my internet went down for most of the night tonight, probably due to weather. That hasn’t happened in months, then it happens on Super Tuesday. Go figure.

What’s unbelievable to me is how some of the media is spinning the Democratic Super Tuesday results as a tie. Seriously?

Hillary Clinton had ginormous leads in almost all of the Super Tuesday states two weeks ago, and Barack Obama walked away with more states and more projected delegates (MSNBC’s Chuck Todd has projected him as the delegate winner by a slight margin). Personally, coming into tonight I felt like a state tie and falling short by less than 100 delegates would have been a win for the Obama camp.

If Obama can win New Mexico, then he will win 14 states to her eight. If Hillary pulls it out, he wins states 13 to nine. Either way, it’s an amazing accomplishment for Obama. After all, at one point Hillary looked to be a foregone conclusion way before Super Tuesday. She even said herself that she thought she’d have the nomination wrapped up by Super Tuesday. Not so fast, Hill.

A couple of things happened. The biggest trend I noticed was that Obama cut the gap among Whites nationally. He also once again was dominate among Black voters. Additionally, he won by sizable margins in states where he had definite advantages . Meanwhile, he didn’t allow Hillary to really take advantage of her turf like he did in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas. Then there were the six caucuses. Obama just dominated these contests, handing out political beatdowns in each one.

That last statement is crucial, because there are three caucuses this coming Saturday — Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington.
