Last night's split decision in Kentucky and Oregon pushed Barack Obama into the majority of pledged delegates but also shaved his popular vote lead over Hillary Clinton down by 150,000 votes. Here's a sampling of how conservative and liberal bloggers are responding this morning to last night's results.Outside the Beltway's James Joyner:
Clinton is losing but by a very small margin. Obama has to play nice for fear that she'll be halfhearted in backing him in the Fall.
Talk Left's Big Tent Democrat says it is wrong to declare Obama having won a majority of pledged delegates without counting Florida and Michigan:
He has handed Hillary Clinton the most appealing battle cry a politician could possibly have - count the votes. Donna Brazile and Keith Olbermann and the other Obama surrogates can scream about the RULZ. Hillary Clinton can fight for the votes!
Hot Air's Allahpundit looks at the exit polls and finds this:
Interesting tidbit: Of the 42% of Democrats who say Obama shouldn't pick Hillary as VP, fully half of them voted today for Hillary. I'm not sure how to interpret that.While Obama supporter Andrew Sullivan says the Oregon exit polls show Obama's broad appeal:
Almost a mirror image of Kentucky tonight: currently a 60 - 40 Obama win. Obama won those earning less than $50,000 by 52 percent to 46 percent. He wins independents 65 - 32.
