Minnesota, North Dakota, Kansas for Obama

Strong showing in the Midwest for Obama. That bodes pretty well. Winning Connecticut is big for Obama too. New York was pretty much going to go for Clinton and New Jersey too due to proximity (losing New Jersey would have been a big black eye, losing NY would have been auto lose), but the fact that Obama was able to peel off Connecticut from Hillary out of the tristate area plus do well over the upper midwest is definitely a good sign for him. Either way the delegate count is going to be close, which is what Obama needed.

Interestingly, very severe weather in Memphis (they had tornados in Tennessee, IN FEBRUARY!) may have hurt Obama in Tennessee. People don't turn out to the polls when they're busy hiding in their basements.
