Stacking up the blowouts

Contests won with 65% or more

In part because of the 9:1 delegate disparity in his blowout wins compared to Clinton's, Obama didn't need a win in West Virginia -- like John McCain, he just needed to pick up a few delegates and move on.

Well, even if he only ended up accomplishing the bare minimum, he did what he had to.

And now it's on to Oregon and the final stages of the campaign.

(h/t to kubla000 whose Daily Kos diary inspired this post.)

In other news: Obama picked up another superdelegate tonight, Awais Khaleel of the College Democrats of America. (A second superdelegate, Lauren Wolfe, also endorsed Obama, but she won't have a vote unless the Michigan delegation is seated.)

Even more news (3:57AM update): Another two superdelegates endorse Obama, Indiana Rep. Pete Viclosky, and Democrats Abroad Chair Christine Schone Marques (who will get 1/2 a vote).
