24 Wins in 2 Weeks - What Obama Has Done (updatedx3)

Update #2 to reflect huge Obama win in Hawaii.
Update #3 to reflect huge Obama win in Democrats Abroad primary

24 contests won in past 2 weeks - look what Obama has done.  

From Feb 5 to Feb 19 - in the last 2 weeks alone - Obama has won 22 states (including DC) and throw in the US Virgin Islands & DemocratsAbroad and that makes 24 contests won in 2 weeks.

UPDATE - Thanks for the Rec'd diary !  Updated numbers in Wisconsin :  In single-digit frigid weather, 1.5 million of my fellow Wisconsinites came out to vote, 1.1 million in the Dem primary and only 400,000 voting on the Republican side.  With 100 % reporting, Obama won 58% to 41%.  This is a seriously huge victory - I'm stunned how close he was to 60 % here.  ( I believe kos' prediction was right on . . . didn't he say a 17-point margin earlier today ? )

CONTINUED BELOW THE JUMP WITH DETAILS & NUMBERS . . .

A picture is worth a few thousand words.  Reality check time.

Another Reality Check - but first, I am one proud Badger Stater tonight !

My beloved WISCONSIN !  My home state, the state of my birth, was called for Obama by all the networks mere seconds after the polls closed !  

Folks this is HUGE.  His win must be enormous here, matching my most hopeful dreams.  

This is a state which is 90 % white and has a lot of working-class folks, decent people in small cities, small towns, and rural areas.

BARACK OBAMA CAME HERE and spent a week criss-crossing the state.  He went to Eau Claire, Wausau, Green Bay, Oshkosh, Racine, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Janesville, Beloit, Madison and I'm probably missing a couple places.

He spoke - in person - to more than 50,000 people.  Wisconsinites appreciate people who come here and work for our vote, and come talk to us, and visit parts of Wisconsin beyond just Madison and Milwaukee.

I am PROUD to be a Wisconsinite tonight !

Total Number of States/Other contests won* (includes District of Columbia and American territories) :

Obama - 26 (includes US Virgin Islands & DemsAbroad)
Clinton - 12 (includes American Samoa)

That's 26 of 38 decided contests - more than two-thirds.  More details below . . .

* This does not include MI or FL, nor should it.  Neither of those states has been decided and presently per DNC rules they both have 0 delegates.  

BIG WINS

Obama has 22 states/contests in which he got 55 % or more of the vote, and - get this - a stunning 15 contests in which he has received 60 % or more of the vote.  (Conversely, Hillary has gotten 35 % or less of the vote in 15 contests.)

PLEDGED DELEGATES

Obama has a strong lead in pledged delegates, 1159-1014, and it is getting stronger every day.  This is a nearly 150-delegate lead which is virtually insurmountable.  Hillary will need to win Texas AND Ohio AND Pennsylvania each and win all of them in the range of 65-35 to hope to TIE Obama now.

OVERALL DELEGATES

Obama continues to have a clear lead in overall delegates, 1319-1249.

POPULAR VOTE

In the delegate contests decided to date, Obama has a clear lead in the popular vote, 10.1 million to 9.2 million.  That's a nearly 1-million vote lead.

Here's the kicker :  Even if Florida and Michigan are included (which I adamantly oppose, because of reasons given above, namely DNC rules, plus the lack of a real campaign in either), it's undeniable :  Obama still leads in the popular vote :  he has 11 million to Hillary's 10.7 million!

Let's review, shall we.
