My Predictions: The Aftermath

Well, I guess 12.5% is better than 0% correct. I got Hillary's vote percentage in Kentucky correct, but was over on Obama's percentage. It appears that my delegate count was too optimistic as well, with CNN's current count in the KY sitting at 37-14.

My Oregon prediction was a bit conservative, with Obama looking like he'll win 58-42. There isn't a total number of delegates yet, but my guess is it will higher than my prediction.

It would be nice if Senator Clinton to make any predictions on Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota a completely moot point. I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening. If necessary, I'll make my pointless predictions for the last three contests late next week.

My Meaningless Unscientific Oregon and Kentucky Predictions

Today will be another split decision in the seemingly unending democratic nomination race, but the bigger story will be the milestone reached by Senator Obama. Provided he gains 15-20 pledged delegates tonight (an almost assured prospect), he will clinch a victory in the pledged delegate race (at least until MI and FL are settled). Hopefully the hyperactive labrador puppies in the media will stay still long enough to see tonight for what it is. Given their track record, expect them to discount Obama's milestone and victory in Oregon in favor of Clinton's MAJOR victory in Kentucky. After all, the only states that matter in the United States are those in greater Appalachia (Except for Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia).

Oregon: Obama 55%, Clinton 45% 29-23 Pledged Delegate Count
Kentucky: Clinton 65% Obama 35% 33-18 Pledged Delegate Count

There is a lot to write about, and I am sure more after the results of tonight are known. I can't make any promises to live up to my hopes in getting stuff out there, but stay tuned.
