Obama Wins Maine, Steals Bill Clinton's Grammy

Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton 59%-40% in Maine, which puts him maybe in the lead or tied or behind Hillary Clinton in whatever sort of delegates you like to talk about. More important than these five victories in a row -- did you forget the U.S. Virgin Islands?-- was Obama's victory in the crucial "spoken word performance" category of the Grammy Awards, which apparently happened tonight. Obama's passionate reading of "My Book Called Hope" beat Bill Clinton breathily reading a list of his presidential pardons. [NY Times ]
