Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) won his second straight Democratic contest, by taking the Mississippi primary tonight. It was a near landslide with Obama at 59% and 39% for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).

The state has 33 delegates, 17 of which went to Obama and 11 for Clinton, with the rest still being decided.
But after a win in the Wyoming Caucus on Saturday, and tonight's victory, Obama has expanded his lead by another 8 delegates. Not counting "Super Delegates," Obama leads Clinton by about 130 delegates nationwide.
With only a handful of primaries left, neither candidate may have the 2,025 delegates needed for the nomination. That could mean a brokered convention this August in Denver.

Next stop on the primary trail is Pennsylvania, in six weeks!
