Barack Obama will very likely win Lacy Clay’s 1st Congressional District, but a good predictor of how well Obama will do in the all-important delegate count in Missouri will be how well he does in Russ Carnahan’s 3rd Congressional District.

The 1st District, located in north St. Louis City, midtown, and north and central St. Louis County) has a very large African-American population.

The 3rd District is mostly white and contains parts of the City of St. Louis basically south of Interstate 44 and parts of south St. Louis County.

Both Clay and Carnahan have endorsed Obama.

Volunteers and supporters of the Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures will gather to watch election returns starting tomorrow night at 5:30 p.m. on the campus of Washington University at the Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center.
