Obama and Clinton Split wins

Another split night for both Democratic candidates. Clinton won Kentucky and Obama won Oregon and by large margins too. Senator Obama claimed in his speech in Iowa that the campaign is within reach of the nomination. While in Kentucky Senator Clinton promised to her supporters not to quit until the process is over and that Michigan and Florida delegates situation was resolved. Obviously Edwards endorsement hasn't helped much, but then again Obama didn't campaign vigorously in Kentucky. I hope it's not going to hurt him later in the general election once he gets the nomination. Another interesting fact that came out out of the polls tonight is that voters in Kentucky, just like in West Virginia admitted that Clinton has ran unfair attacks against Obama but still they vote for Clinton heavily. They also confessed that they know Hilary won't get the nomination. I just don't get it, what motivates them then to keep voting against the likely nominee. The same group of people claimed that they won't vote for Obama in the general election.
They'll come along, the future of the country is at stake. Do you want another third Bush term or Change?

Sidenote: A McCain campaign adviser had to quit his position because he didn't want to run against Obama. Two others quit because they were lobbyists which goes against McCain's campaign message about reforming Washington. After a full year of campaigns, they just realize they have lobbyists that are running them, really? Who you trying to fool? One of the lobbyist's firm was also on the payroll of Myanmar military regime, the same regime who's blocking any foreign aide for the victims of the recent natural disasters.
What happened to the "Straight Talk Express" bus? all I see now is the "Double Talk Express".
