Mississippi

The southern state of Misssisippi will conclude its Democratic primary shortly with 33 delegates at stake. With African-Americans making up about half of the electorate down there, it is no surprise that Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois is favored to win the lion's share of delegates over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

The expected victory would be the second in four days for Sen. Obama who won the Wyoming caucauses on Saturday. His expected triumph in Mississippi, along with the win in Wyoming, should, as one writer here put it, restore some of his luster as well as pad his delegate lead, which according to RealClearPolitics.com is at 119.

I'll be back with any calls which should come fairly soon. I'll also examine the exit polls for what it is saying about the state of the race.

Stick around.
