Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Democrat Barack Obama scored a crushing victory and Republican Mitt Romney outpolled his rivals in the Alaska's presidential caucuses.
Obama claimed more than 74 percent of the vote over Hillary Clinton to claim the 302 of the state's 396 Democratic convention delegates, a party count showed..
On the Republican side, Romney captured 43 percent of the vote and nearly half of the party's delegates, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
Party officials were surprised by the large turnout in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in Anchorage, with so many Democrats gathering in such large numbers that the fire marshal turned them away from the Grand View Inn and Suites and declared them a traffic hazard on the Parks Highway.
Obama took 28 of 36 delegates available, while Clinton took eight, the newspaper said
