Currently, Obama has 56% of the vote to 43% for Clinton with about 70% of the precincts reporting.
This is Big.
Why?
Obama has expanded his delegate lead - by a significant margin. He gains another 8-9 Delegates, meaning Clinton will have to win Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania by and average of about 65% to pull back ahead.
Another interesting 'inside politics' note:
Obama was schedule to speak to a Houston Audience at 8:30 central time. Clinton - who was going to speak at another time, moved her speech to about 8:20 central time. Clinton refuses to acknowledge the vote in Wisconsin and goes on to bash Obama in an appearent attempt to upstage him.
But Obama then - despite typical protocol to wait until your opponent speech is over - went on with his speech as scheduled. All the networks cut from Clinton and go to Obama. THEN, the talking point that "Obama upstaged Clinton" gets circulated... gotta love dirty politics, huh?
