??? It appears that Obama has won yet another victory over Ms Clinton.They are projecting Virginia is in Obamas camp as well as the District of Columbia. That makes it 7 straight victories in as many races. The polls are open an extra 90 minutes tonight in Maryland as they have had gridlock on the highways due to icy weather. But the way things are going it will not surprise me in the least if he [Obama] wins Maryland too. After an early lead by Huckabee, the Republican primaries in Virginia and the District of Columbia are now too close to call.
??? That gives Obama 1,184 delegates and Clinton with 1,155, with 2,025 needed to clinch the Democratic nomination. On the other side of the aisle McCain still holds a commanding lead of 765 to Huckabees’ 199. That doesn’t count todays delegates for the Republicans as the race is still too close to call.
??? In exit polls it seems that the only ones that are actually behind Clinton is white females. It seems that one third of the voters were black and among them nine out of ten supported Obama. It seems that white males preferred Obama to Clinton also. Four in 10 Republican voters said they were born again or evangelical Christians, and roughly 70 percent of them supported Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister.
??? Clinton’s campaign seems to have hit a snag and may be facing an uphill battle fighting what amounts to a snowball rolling down the hill gathering steam and increasing with every turn. She got rid of her campaign manager and had to loan her campaign $5 million in recent days. Obama isn’t having any trouble raising money and was able to spend 1.4 million dollars to Clinton’s $210,00 airing commercial in the DC region.
??? Right now she [Clinton] is facing loses in the upcoming races in Wisconsin and Hawaii. And desperately needs to win in Texas and Ohio on March 4, where both candidates have already begun television advertising. So let’s see what happens in the days ahead as either way we are in for something new in politics in the U.S. no matter who wins it will be a first.
