Clinton Revives Race for the White House

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (Posted March 5, 2008) – Sen. Hillary Clinton bested her top rival Sen. Barack Obama with wins in three of the four state contests. The New York senator won in Rhode Island, Ohio and Texas. Obama’s only primary win was in Vermont.
How did she do it? Clinton was able to secure the White, Latino and senior citizen vote in Texas; in Ohio she won the working class folks concerned about jobs and the economy. Clinton needed a strong showing to stay viable; winning these two large states does just that.
Obama did well among African- American voters, young folks and the well educated. But he didn’t win over enough Latino voters in Texas or older voters in Ohio. Clinton bested him by getting more late deciders in both states.
Clinton told her supporters in Columbus, Ohio, “For everyone here in Ohio and across America who’s been ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up — this one is for you. You know what they say,” she said. “As Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Well, this nation’s coming back and so is this campaign.”
Obama congratulated Clinton on her victories, but played down her wins, saying they didn’t net her more delegates, and remains ahead in the race for pledged delegates. Obama decided to direct his remarks toward the future Republican challenger, Arizona Sen. John McCain. McCain secured enough delegates Tuesday to win the Republican nomination.
“Because John McCain may claim long history of straight talk and independent-thinking, and I respect that. But in this campaign, he’s fallen in line behind the very same policies that have ill-served America. He has seen where George Bush has taken our country, and he promises to keep us on the very same course,” Obama said.
Cherri McCormick, an African American from San Antonio, is a tax collector for the city and is still optimistic Obama can win the nomination. “It’s a pretty close race, but he’s got fresh ideas, he’s smart and intelligent,” she said.
Now the Obama campaign will have to re-tool and decide how t0 rebound from Tuesday night’s set backs. The Clinton camp turned up the heat on the freshman senator and it worked. That barrage of attacks may have been enough to influence those voters deciding in the last 48 hours.
African-American lawmaker, Rep. Al Green, (D-Tex) told me, “It’s not over yet, he [Obama] knew it would be close; but at the end of the day he’ll have the same delegate lead.” Green’s district near Houston delivered for Obama.
The Clinton camp feels the momentum turning their way. While Obama leads the delegate count with an estimated 1,451 delegates and Clinton has an estimated 1365, the nominees will need 2024 to secure the nomination.
One things for sure, the second “Super Tuesday” didn’t deliver an inevitable Democratic nominee.
Go BARACK Obama GO………….
WE DO EVERTHING TOGERHER
AND WE LOVE YOU
So what he was elected to the Senate twice. That, in my opinion is not enough. As a matter of fact, many of the issues put before him for a vote, he would not vote yes or no. Seems to me that he could not make up his mind. Now would want someone like that running the United States. People get a grip.
I watch Obama the other day in the rain people he can not walk on water I like so many other BLACKS will vote for McCain something I have never did before this mess is to much to stomach.
Tom,
Are you serious? You are voting for Hilary because her last name is Clinton and you like so many others feel a sense of loyalty to the Clintons for some reason.
What is your strong Hate for Obama about. I could care less what your nationality is you are talking out of so much anger. Did you know that alot of things Obama is saying Bill Clinton said when he ran for president? Bill and Hilary are to different people that ran and two different platforms. Look up some of Bill’s old speeches and you can see for yourself.

NOBODY LIKES THE CHEATING, LYING, VOTE STEALING CLINTONS!!!!!
Christy341 you need to check your information a lot of it is wrong. Hillary’s returns have been released. and a lot of what you say has the distinct of slander and liable. As far as vote stealing goes isn’t that was the current administration is accused of? Many of you act like Obama has no flaws blindly being led like sheep to the slaughter. Personally I’m voting for healthcare for all, and for education, I’m voting for a tighter reign on our borders. Everythinh is not black and white. As I said John F. Kennedy was accused of a great many ills during his administration such as cheating on his wife, have connections to organized crime and buying his way into office. As long as a person has political aspirations people will always throw dirt.
by the way can some 1 plz let hillary kno she needs to drop out like now she won the big states that always goes to democrats thats why they call them blue states obama goes in those states 20 points down and close them to single digits are even win them obama wins swing states and red states that they will need to beat mccain in november (oh hillary nader has a latina vp their goes your latina base)barack obama has a diverse coalition that can win in november peace
Just want to let everyone there is straight censorship on this site!!! Regardless of Obama or Clinton support, the is against the Freedom of Speech. Now you See How Some will do anything
“Barack Obama” 08
I think that white people stole this country and now its time for them to sit down. This country was built on lies and deception ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE.
I feel so sorry for the Black community who are constantly praising King Obama, because if Obama wins the nomination many of you are going to be angry and hurt in the fall when the republicans start throwing their daggers at him. They are going to literally eat Obama’s lunch!
Go Hillary! Barack don’t have nothing on Hillary Clinton. She is a independent woman and is ready to run the White house.Obama is just unprepared.He’d be btter off facing a monkey for President of the jungle. the monkey would win though. Hillary is a positive young women who has her future planned out right now today. There is so much stuff going around in my school about obama.Booooooo! Obama.
