12obama04_600.jpgYesterday Barack Obama won the Mississippi Democratc primary, padding his already delegate lead over Hillary Clinton. Pollsters are crediting his win to the black population in the state, with 90% of black voters choosing him. 33 delegates were at stake in the election held yesterday.

Republican John McCain won the Republican primary in the state, bringing him even closer to becoming the official presidential candidate of his party.
