Analysis: Obama in Driver's Seat After Primary Split




by KYW's Larry Kane

Hillary Clinton's win in Kentucky was impressive, but so was Barack Obama's in Oregon. 

Obama is now the leader in pledged delegates. Going forward, Clinton has little money left to do battle in the final primaries on June 3rd.

Wednesday will be an enormous day, as well as Thursday, when super delegates may emerge from their sleep. 

Exit polls in Kentucky were similar to West Virginia: the economy is issue number one, and Clinton voters were mostly older, lower income.

In Oregon, the economy is important, but 3-in-10 say the war is a big issue.

Half of Clinton voters in both states feel Obama will get the nomination.

With just two weeks and three primaries remaining, Obama has an edge in two of them.
