| Obama coasts to victory in Miss. primary |
| 2008-03-12 01:01:00 |
JACKSON, Miss. - Barack Obama coasted to victory in Mississippi's Democratic primary Tuesday, latest in a string of racially polarized presidential contests across the Deep South and a final tune-up before next month's high-stakes race with Hillary Rodham Clinton in Pennsylvania. Obama was winning roughly 90 percent of the black vote but only about one-quarter of the white vote, extending a pattern that carried him to victory in earlier primaries in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.His triumph seemed unlikely to shorten a Democratic marathon expected to last at least six more weeks — and possibly far longer — while Republicans and their nominee-in-waiting, Sen. John McCain, turn their attention to the fall campaign."Now we look forward ...

Obama wins Mississippi primary, new race row rocks Democrats BILOXI: Barack Obama on Tuesday surged to victory in Mississippi's Democratic primary (Watch) , in a new triumph over Hillary Clinton, as a fierce new race row rocked their bitter White House race. The Illinois senator punched back with his second win in a row since the former first lady pulled her campaign back from the brink of extinction, with huge victories in Texas and Ohio last week. As Mississippi voted, the tone of the race took another nasty lurch, as the Obama camp demanded the dismissal of Clinton's supporter Geraldine Ferraro, for saying: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position." With its 3...

Obama Ridicules Notion of VP SlotBy CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press WriterDemocrat Barack Obama ridiculed the idea of being Hillary Rodham Clinton's running mate Monday, saying voters must choose between the two for the top spot on the fall ticket.The Illinois senator used his first public appearance of the week to knock down the notion that he might accept the party's vice presidential nomination.

AUSTIN, Texas - Voting on primary day is so yesterday.

Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton as well as the Republican contest.The two Democratic presidential rivals have put a premium on coaxing voters and others like her to the polls early, with success.Which is why Bill Clinton stood on the back of a red Chevy pickup truck in El Paso recently, pointing to a nearby early voting location and asking supporters to cast a ballot for ...
