O.P. RE: Presidential Election 2008
quote: Originally posted by RebelSean, via Neowin - The Results of Super Tuesday
Yesterday marked one of the biggest days of the political elections of 2008, Super Tuesday. Twenty-four states held their presidential primaries or caucuses, and the results, in my honest opinion are amazing. There has been quite a few extremely close races between the top-runners for each party. Here's a mini analysis of what has happened yesterday, for the democrats there are 1681 delegates at stake, and for republicans there are 1020 delegates at stake.
Barrack Obama has won Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, and Utah
Hillary Clinton has won Arizona, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee
New Mexico is the only state left to have a projected winner, but I feel that Clinton can make a come back. She's only down a little over a thousand. Even though Obama has won many states, Clinton is still in the lead with the most delegates. Clinton has 811 pledged delegates, and Obama has 639.
The race for the democratic nomination is going to be very tough within the coming months. The District of Columbia, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin all have yet to hold their primaries and caucuses. Those are going to be the key states that will decide if Obama or Clinton will be the democratic nominee.
I personally would love for Clinton to win the nomination, not only that she's a stronger candidate to run against the republican leader, McCain. Obama doesn't have a chance against McCain, IMHO.
I'm very proud of Clinton .
