Clinton Wins OH, TX and RI

David Ahnhtolz for The New York Times

Hillary Clinton ended Barack Obama's winning streak of electoral primary contests at 12 with three wins of her own in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. Despite polls and predictions of Obama winning Texas the results were:

Texas
Primary
(126 delegates)
Clinton 65 Obama 61
Caucuses (67 delegates; tentative
results based on a straight percentage from 36% reporting -- 52O 48C)
Obama~35 Clinton ~32
Total (Nowhere near final)
Clinton ~97 Obama ~96


However, for the night Clinton ended up with a delgate gain of +13, dropping Obama's lead from 191 to 178 (according to Daily Kos).

On the Republican side,John McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination. I would bet money that it will be a McCain-Huckabee ticket.

    Go Obama go, I just don't want to not vote, which is what I'll have to do if HRC is the nominee, she has shown her true colors, and, I can't deal with how she has pandered and lied to get votes.

    Or, go with Cynthia McKinny, LOL!
