Hillary Vs Barack, Kentucky And Oregon Edition

With about 85% counted in Kentucky it's Hillary by 35% with an almost 200,000 vote lead. I guess they didn't appreciate Barack writing them off as one of those states in the middle of the country that didn't know him despite the fact his state borders theirs and Arkansas doesn't.
Can Hillary keep it close in Oregon? It's possible but at this point I would rather run against Barack than Hillary and just want to see CHAOS at their convention in Denver. The two camps are building tremendous animosity between them and it is sweet to behold, the Democrat's long lived identity grievance victim politics at its best, err worst.
Update: As I was typing Hillary increased her lead to over 200,000.
Update: This is a real trouncing in Kentucky as I looked through county by county votes Barack was unable to break out of the single digits percentage wise in many precincts. Obama is going to have real problems in a rural America that sees him as a big city elite liberal snob.
Update: Obama is leading in Oregon by 16% and about 60,000 votes with the bulk of that number coming from Portland and Eugene, like I said, big city liberal. Hillary is winning alot of the more rural counties but they don't have the population numbers. I loved Oregon when I went there because it is largely wilderness.
Update: It looks like Hillary will win the popular vote tonight by about 150,000 as the turnout in Oregon is well below expectations though Obama will win the state. This is going to the convention in August, break out the peanuts and beer, grin.

Will Obama's arrogance do the damage to his campaign that his policies should be doing? I'll take it any way as long as it drives him down.
