Barack Obama To Change Electoral Math By Courting Youths, African-Americans, Everybody Else

Obama Secretly Wins California Primary!

While he may not have won more delegates than Senator Hillary Clinton, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has still won the state of California through sheer force of charm and "momentum."
