As predicted, Hillary Clinton won Tuesday’s Kentucky primary by a huge margin while Barack Obama took the contest in Oregon with a substantial lead.

Clinton won Kentucky by more than 30 points, but Obama’s share of the state’s 51 delegates was enough put him over the threshold, according to CNN estimates.
