Tuesday night Hillary redeemed herself by winning primaries in Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island, causing a major dent in Obama's delegate lead. It was a close race...Clinton with roughly 50.3 % of the votes and Obama with about 47.9%. Both saw the best results in the areas where they spent the most time campaigning. With Clinton campaigning more in Hispanic South Texas towards a majority of Latino voters, her strategy proved more effective then Obamas, campaigning in major metropolitan areas and college towns such as Austin and Brazos County. However, Obama did have a 6 to 1 edge over Hillary among black voters. But in the end, it was Hillary who took the cake this time. Hillary picked up at least 75 delegates, while Obama earned at least 54. Nearly 250 remain to be awarded.
A record setting turnout. Voters were anxiously waiting in line to vote 2 hours after the polls were scheduled to close. Also, Texans took advantage of the option to vote early and brought in an estimated 2 million votes.
Texans may be setting records, but they still can not seem to elect the right candidates. Unfortunately, as of now, it looks like it's going to be Hillary and McCain battling for presidency in this year's elections if things keep happening for the former first lady. I have to admit I'm shocked she's still doing this well. But, Obama's still got a chance...I guess its just wait and see.
Until then I'll keep askin....Why not Ron Paul?
Open your eyes Texas. How amazing would it be with NO IRS or wars?
