GOP Has Their Candidate, Democrats Continue to Fight

6 03 2008

As we wait for the remainder of the Texas Caucus votes to be counted, let’s reflect on Tuesday’s events. Barack Obama won his 12th consecutive Primary with an easy win in Vermont, but thats where his streak ended. Hillary Clinton easily took Rhode Island, Ohio, and squeaked out a win in Texas. While the three wins were big for the Clinton campaign and kept the race very much alive, Obama still leads by 96 delegates as of this post. The two candidates now turn their attention to Wyoming and Mississippi in the next week for their primaries. It’s clear neither candidate will receive the necessary delegates by convention time, we should be in for a fun summer.

John McCain now has topped the number of delegates and will be announced as the official Republican candidate at this year’s National Republican Convention. Now his focus should turn to campaigning against Clinton and Obama as they battle it out and to choosing a proper running mate.
