Obama Wins Wisconsin In 9th Straight Win

Senator Barack Obama scored his ninth straight victory over rival Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential nomination showdown by bagging the Wisconsin primary.

While Senator John McCain won the Republican race in Wisconsin, making things more difficult for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee who is now being seen as having no serious chance of coming out on top in the race.

When the night is out Obama is also expected to win the caucus in Hawaii where polls will be open for several more hours in view of the time difference, bringing his tenth straight victory over Clinton who was once seen as the front-runner in the Democrat campaign for White House.

Clinton was not expected to win in Wisconsin and the campaign had started pulling out when it became apparent that the state was leaning the way of the African-American Senator.

Still, the former first lady made one last-ditch effort to see if she could make a break in her string of losses.

The Illinois Senator cut deep into Clinton's support base of women and working class voters in the midwestern state.

There were a total of 92 delegates at stake including 18 super delegates. The pledged delegates will be alloted in proportion to the vote when the final tally is over.

But getting into Wisconsin, Obama had a total of 1,281 delegates as opposed to Clinton's 1,218.

There were 19 Republican delegates at stake in Washington.

Overall, McCain had 921 delegates and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee had 245.

It will take 1,191 delegates to claim the Republican nomination at this summer's national convention in Denver.
