Headline I never thought I'd see

Obama looks to Miss. for momentum

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama focused on Mississippi's primary for new momentum in his tight race with Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a consensus began to emerge about two states stripped of their delegates where do-over contests could weigh heavily in the fierce Democratic White House battle.

Obama was favored to win in Tuesday's nominating race in Mississippi, a southern state where blacks — who have carried him to wins previously — make up a majority of the Democratic voters. The first senator trounced Clinton in Saturday's Wyoming caucuses, rebounding from earlier setbacks in a win that allowed him to retain his all-important delegate lead in his quest to becoming the U.S.'s first black president.

Hub and Emily went to the rally tonight, Em jumped over a chair to shake his hand. Wish I'd been there.

I think that means they're married now in some parts of Mississippi.

Uh oh! Scandal in the making:

Already married Obama, marries second wife in Mississippi!
