CBS Nws projects that Barack Obama had scored a victory in Georgia for the Democratic Super Tuesday race which is the largest primary night in the history of the nation. Both Obama and Clinton are fighting in both primaries and caucuses across 22 states. They both are looking to get an advantage in the delegate race that will determine the Democratic nominee for the race to the White House.

Exit polling from the state gave the indication that more voters saw Obama as the more qualified candidate to be President of the United States. More voters have believed that Clinton had attacked Obama unfairly than him unfairly attacking Clinton.

Almost half of the Democratic voters according to early exit polls conducted nationwide indicate that the country’s economy was the top priority. Over 90 percent of Democratic voters have thought the economy was in terrible shape.

51 percent said the ability to bring change was the most important quality than citing experience. 23 percent of voters have cited experience as the most important quality.

On that same day, Obama had also scored the first public relations victory. He had dominated the vote of Democratic voters living abroad in Indonesia. Obama had lived in Indonesia when he was a child.

For days, Obama’s camp had lowered its expectations but hoped for a big night. David Plouffe, the campaign manager said he would consider it a win if Obama finishes within 100 delegates of Clinton.

At the same time, there is big worry within the Clinton campaign that Clinton might be in for a rough night as Jim Axelrod, CBS News correspondent explains. Axelrod said that the campaign was also less confident about the results in both California and New Jersey in the last few days.

However, both candidates have run diligent campaign headed into Super Tuesday. But, it does not mean there will be a stalemate.
