Obama Cleans Up in First Super Tuesday Voting

The first results for Super Tuesday are already in and --so far-- it's a rout with Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton three to one.  

JAKARTA (AFP) — US Democratic Party voters in Indonesia, where Barack Obama spent part of his childhood, handed him a win over Hillary Clinton in the first voting abroad on "Super Tuesday," party officials said.

Seventy-five percent of nearly 100 votes cast by expatriate Americans just past midnight (1700 GMT Monday) went to Obama and 25 percent went to Clinton, Democrats Abroad officials here said.

Registered Democrats in Indonesia's capital Jakarta were the first to vote in person on the day of the US mega-primary, which will select more than half the delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August.

If this trend continues outside of Indonesia, expect Hillary's concession speech with 16 hours.

In all seriousness though, Democrats voting abroad have 11 delegates at the upcoming convention (almost as many as Wyoming, or Alaska).  With so much talk about which candidate would be best prepared to represent America to the world, it will be interesting to see what Democrats living outside of the US think.    

And with increasing talk from both Clinton and Obama of the race going on to the convention, there is an outside possibility that even these 11 delegates could be decisive.
