Obama sweeps in the Virgin Islands

Simon Caines, the executive director of the Democratic Party of the Virgin Islands, shared in a brief interview just now the preliminary results of that territory's caucuses, which produce the equivalent of three delegates.

With all of the votes there in, Caines said, the preliminary count is:

Obama: 1772 votes (89.9%)
Clinton: 149 votes (7.6%)

"We believe Senator Obama will receive all three of our pledged delegates," said Caines.

(He then explained that -- because nothing can be simple -- the territory actually has six delegates, each of whom has half a vote -- so the equivalent of three.)

10. Why are Obama and Edwards supporters so fascinated with Sen. Clinton's ass?

Every time I read a thread here on DU...Obama supporters are talking about Sen. Clinton's "ass."

And Joe Trippi (who helped lead the Edwards campaign) once said "let's kick her ass."

So I'm just wondering why all the fascination with Sen. Hillary Clinton's "ass."
