What a Night!
All I can say is wow. I'll be back later tonight for a full analysis concerning last night's results, but let me just say that last night had to be the most thrilling night in recent history for any and everyone who loves politics. Many doubted Sen. Clinton could win Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island, I admit I was one, but she came through from behind, and I couldn't be happier. This race continues. And until I come back later tonight, here is Sen. Clinton's victory speech in Ohio. Enjoy! (Note: the speech had to be divided into two videos due to the length)

Of course, we KNOW that slim Clinton win in Texas had nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh urging republicans in Texas to cross over and vote for Hillary to keep the democratic nomination going. Wink. Wink. Nod. Nod.
^o, c'mon Johnny. That was a cheap-shot. Look at the Exit Polls from Texas. Obama won Republicans by a wide margin. Clinton, however, won Democrats by a large margin. Let's face it, she won. No excuses, she won, fair and square.
^ Of course, Hillary's supporters would know a little about cheap shots but I seem to recall reading the same opinions every time that Obama won a state over the past couple of months... now where was that that I read that ? .... Hmmm. Oh yeah. Right here on this blog!! Additionally, if you believe exit polls, Al Gore is now serving his second term in office instead of George W Bush.
There's a reason that the republicans want Hillary as the democratic nominee. That reason would be president McCain.
^Johnny, I have no problems admitting that Clinton's campaign has taken cheap shots, as has Obama's, but this politics. Cheap shots are a part of the game, doesn't mean that I agree with them, but they are part of the game.
Secondly, I hold the opinion that Democrats should decide the Democratic nominee, not Republicans. Hillary has won Democrats in almost every primary state.
Great wins for Hillary. If she is indeed the Democratic nominee she will beat McCain. Forget what you read in the polls at this time. No one voted for Clinton because of Limbaugh. His radio shows are from New York, when was the last time a republican presidential candidate won New York and its electoral votes. The people who know him the best don't follow his lead.
News flash!! Hillary gained a net of four (4) delegates on Tuesday. With large projected wins in next weeks two primaries, Obama should win those four lost on Tuesday many times over. Hillary needed huge wins on Tuesday and didn't get them. To pass Obama in pledged delegates, she needs to beat him 63-37 in the remaining primaries and caucuses. You do the math.
Of course, she can still destroy the party's hopes of victory in November by successfully fighting to seat the illegitimate delegates from Michigan and Florida or by convincing a large majority of super delegates to ignore the voters wishes and vote for her as the democratic nominee. Short of that, she has little to no chance of catching Obama in pledged delegates.
America is seemingly is NOT salivating at the prospect of a continuance of the past 20 years of a Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush Monarchy. To most people another Clinton or Clinton-Clinton on that list does not signify change.
Johnny, you need to get a life. You show your hatred for Clinton. The Michigan and Florida delegates are not illegitimate as of this very moment we speak. They have no standing. A decision will be made about what to do about them and both Clinton and your boy Obama will have their say in the matter as will both states. As for superdelegates, according to the rules they can vote for whom ever they please. The rules are set up that way. Many superdelegates have already announced their support for Clinton and Obama and in fact some have already switched their positions and changed sides on both sides. If the democrats loose in November which they will not, it won't be Clinton's fault as you think. The way delegates are distributed under the party rules, winning a primary does not give any one candidate a great advantage, it has to be a cumulative thing along with the other delegates. Neither Clinton or Obama will have the necessary 2025 delegates when the primaries end so it will be up to the uncommitted and superdelegates to contribute. The democratic party will not be destroyed. The people have spoke, it is Obama, Clinton and McCain at this point. I would perfer to have another Clinton President than another Bush clone.
