Obama Triumphs over Hillary and Bill Clinton Barack Obama won over Hillary Clinton in the Maine primary, and over Bill Clinton in the Grammy awards competition.

Senator Barrack Obama won over Senator Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary in the state of Maine, CNN reported.

Obama has received 59% of the Democratic vote while Clinton got a little over 40%. Thus, 15 of Maine's 24 delegates to the national convention will go to Obama, and 9 will go to Clinton.

Meanwhile, the Illinois senator won another race - on Sunday he received a Grammy Award for the audio version of his book "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." Obama had already won the same award in 2005 for his book "Dreams from My Father"

In the Grammy competition in this category the Senator triumphed over two former US Presidents from his own party - Bill Clinton nominated for his book "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World", and Jimmy Carter who was nominated for the book "Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World".
