Pajamas Media liveblogged the contest.
UPDATE: No he didn’t!!… Billy Jeff played the “Jesse Jackson” card.
Or rather, Bill Clinton played the ace card of the race cards- “Bubba: Obama Is Just Like Jesse Jackson.”
UPDATE 2: Obama gets a strong endorsement from Caroline Kennedy in the New York Times.
UPDATE 3: The Clinton’s spin the bad news but they were wrong on one thing. Their press release says that Obama won by 12. Obama actually won by 28 percentage points over second place Hillary Clinton.
It looks like it’s time for another Hillary crying jag.
