In
Dorchester, it's
Obama
Most voters in Dorchester filled in ovals for Sen. Barack
Obama on Tuesday. Despite losing the state to Sen. Hillary
Clinton by 15 points, Obama won the city of Boston, in part
because of his strong showings in Dorchester and Mattapan.

South Boston. Photo by Chris Lovett.
