FTA:
Obama was projected to take Vermont, but the contest in Texas was too close to call.
Sen. John McCain swept all four Republican contests on Tuesday to become his party's presumptive nominee. Read about McCain's victory
McCain won primaries in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island, giving him more than the 1,191 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination.

Looks like Obama will win in delegate count and take the caucuses, but Clinton will win the popular vote by a narrow margin.
The bottom line is they will emerge tomorrow with Obama still holding the substantial delegate lead, popular vote lead, and number of states won lead. But Hillary will soldier on with her kitchen sink campaign. She lusts for the nomination so much she doesn't concern herself with the fact that her efforts, if successful, will ensure a John McCain presidency.

But he didn't.
Its interesting how this story has been spun. A few short weeks ago it looked, from the poll figures, as if it would be a miracle for Obama to win EITHER Texas or Ohio. Wasn't he 20% behind in Ohio and over 10% in Texas?
So the reality that he didn't overcome such overwhelming gaps is hardly a big story except within the overcharged and hysterical atmosphere in which all this takes place.

Now who's soft pedaling? It isn't a "comeback" if you've never been behind. Senator Clinton was never behind in the polls in Ohio, so it is really smarmy of CNN to declare her victory in Ohio a "comeback". As late as yesterday she had an eight point lead in the polls, so to call it a "comeback" is simply ludicrous.
Looks like this is going to drag on for several more weeks at least.
And also, let's look at how Senator Clinton won. She used fear and politics as usual. Guess we don't want change as much as I thought.

It depends how you define comeback, Bk.
It IS a comeback from losong 12 in a row but there are suggestions - from Time magazine, for example - that even with yesterday's victories she can't clock up sufficient delegate votes.
OTOH MR. Clinton predicted a long time ago that if she won Texas and Ohio she would win the game.
The nomination game, that is.. [I believe that's correct and that he wasn't predicting the election on that basis]

This has been the most amazing race, regardless of who wins. I hear she's ahead in TX, by a hair. I know the CONS want her to win, which is why Limbot has been telling everyone to vote for her. Whatever happens, my being glued to the radio, newspaper, or net will be curtailed by a mile. I'm not going to subject myself to any more ugliness. Fifteen plus years of it has been enough. The Democratic candidate has my vote, and my financial contribution. That's all I can do.

No one has ever won the Presidency without winning Ohio. She won big. Already her people are pushing to seat those Michigan, and Florida delegates even if they have to re do the vote. Looks like Barak Obama is not getting a free ride anymore.>>>>>
Our country has been around for two and a half centuries. Ohio has not picked every presidential winner.
Obama hasn't had a 'free ride.' He worked for, and earned his place in this election cycle. Get over it.

Hillary may have won the states, but she didnt win enough delegates to make a difference(these are not winner take all contests, its proportional). She needed 20% margins to put a dent in Obama, and its looking like she will barely clear 10% in ohio, and if lucky 2% in texas.. Aka, she isnt gaining enough delegates for this to matter at all. Both candidates are in same boat they were yesterday when its comes to national delegate count. And that boat has Obama leading nationally still by a good enough margin that hillary is still on the ropes...

Yes, but Hillary can now make the argument for seating both Florida and Michigan stronger. If Obama had pulled out with wins, even small ones, in Texas and Ohio then that would have weakened the case. He could of brought up all of Hillary's losses. He could of attacked how far behind Hillary was, even if it was still a fairly small amount. The illusion of Obama being far ahead would of existed among the voters. Now its a completely different ballgame and it will change yet again if she can seat Michigan and Florida. She can turn this very small gain into a large one if she can use the wins to seat Florida and Michigan.
