Barack Obama has been projected the winner in Vermont, where an expected overwhelming victory is likely to give him the vast majority of the 15 delegates at stake.
At least for a half hour -- until the polls close in the toss-up state of Ohio -- it extends Obama's winning streak in the Democratic nomination race to 12 contests.
His early opposition to the Iraq war -- in contrast to Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize the conflict -- played well in Vermont, where most voters are against the war.
John McCain was projected the winner among Republicans, and since it is a winner-take-all state, all 17 delegates up for grabs.

Wow, this writer can not be more effusive in its praise and swooning of the victor. I can sense that this writer thought long and hard when putting together such epical prose (perhaps even very giddy when banging on the keyboard)--that is when one considers the number of delegates that the victor would win you'd think that by describing the number of delegates as "vast" you'd be apt to auto-think like a pantheon of tremendously huge delegates have been awarded. Dude, we get the point. The front leader for this primary is so loved by the press that a simple desrcription of the winning wont suffice. Wake America up, you're being duped.
Why won't any media report the margin between clinton and obama?
