McCain, Obama Tops in Vermont

John McCain and Barack Obama each won their respective primaries in Vermont. McCain's domination was expected, and Obama's modest majority means he gets 3 delegates while Hillary Clinton gets 2.

I don't want to be the one to say that the results yielded by the citizens of Vermont are meaningless in the context of today's primaries, but the results yielded by the citizens of Vermont are meaningless in the context of today's primaries.

CNN's Bill Schneider suggests Obama's victory was almost solely because of Iraq, and he has the stats to back it up.

One of the key reasons this groups went for Obama? The Iraq war. While the issue has fallen in importance among voters in several other states, Vermont voters ranked it nearly as important as the economy, and those who said it was the number one issue went for Obama over Clinton by nearly 3 to 1.

Remember, Howard Dean, the uberliberal chairman of the DNC was Vermont's governor, before his failed attempt at the presidency. This is a clear indication of Vermont's status as a solid blue state.
