Political junkies are well aware that Barack Obama swept and obliterated Hillary in several contests this past weekend. Most of the margins of victory were at least twenty point disparities. Maine, Washington, Louisiana, Nebraska and the Virgin Islands made their choice clear. Answering the question on how many votes Barack got at the Grammy Awards is a different question. Though of course, he won that too.
From The Daily News:
LOS ANGELES - Sen. Barack Obama topped a Clinton in another contest Sunday - the Grammys.
The presidential candidate beat out ex-Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter for Best Spoken Word Album for the audio version of his book "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming The American Dream." It was his second Grammy.
Clinton, also a two-time Grammy winner, was in the running for the same prize with "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World." Carter's "Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World," won last year and was again a contender.
How interesting, Bill Clinton has already won twice and Hillary once at the Grammys....now its Barack's turn. There's no way to know if the Grammy win will translate to a victory in the nominating process...but if you look at the ever-changing delegate count one might start to wonder.
