14 DAY TRIAL // Politics is a bitch, but if you treat her right it will pay you back tenfold. That's the underlay of all the thoughts in every politician's mind, I think, and that's why they are up there making decisions and I for one am here writing about it. They knew how to capitalize on their dreams and are going at it time and time again.
The fight between Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton has been raging on ever since the two first met. They are, after all, fighting for the same spot to run for president. The first ever online primary to happen has found its winner on Thursday and it was Senator Obama who brought home the gold. Voters opted for him with a stunning percentage, 65.6, while his biggest rival only managed to get some 32.7 percent of the people living abroad to back her up. It's the eleventh consecutive primary Obama managed to snag away from Hilary Clinton and he seems intent to keep it up with the winning streak, but who wouldn't?
A Democrats Abroad spokeswoman said that out of the total number of votes, 22,000 have been cast over the Internet, Wired reports. People voted from 164 countries, and areas where they poured in include all the letters of the alphabet, including Antarctica and ending with Zambia. When's a will, there's a way, seems to be the message the way things turned out.
"The online Democrats Abroad Global Primary expanded the frontier of voting opportunities, and it works easily, even from the harshest continent on Earth," Adam Lutchansky, the voter from Antarctica, said in a statement issued by Democrats Abroad on Thursday.
At the moment, Obama has the edge over Clinton, with 1319 delegates against her 1250 delegates. However, when it comes to supers, Hilary is ahead, 234, 73 more than Barack.
