After another round of primaries on Tuesday, Arizona Senator John McCain clinched his place as the Republican presidential nominee. For the Democrats, however, the day ended in more indecision.

New York Senator Hillary Clinton won three of four primaries, taking Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. The critical victories brought an end to her 11-state losing streak and revived her campaign, setting the stage for a continued tough fight against Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Obama won big in the Vermont primary, leading with 60 percent of the vote.


Early exit polls showed that Obama appealed to younger voters, and older voters preferred Clinton. In Texas, Clinton held a two-to-one advantage with Latino voters, while Obama had an overwhelming lead with Black voters. Overall, Obama is still in the lead with 1,477 delegates to Clinton’s 1,391—but 2,025 will be needed to win the Democratic nomination. Next up is the Pennsylvania primary on April 22.

I believe that Hilary Clinton is not going to run this country like her husband did. I don't believe she is sincere about what and how she will do better than Obama. I appreciate Obama's honesty and dislike for all of the atacks and bickering like elementary school. What do Clinton supporters think about her recent gas trip?

I concur the most prosperous time in my adult life was during the Clinton administration. My family was able to buy property in San Diego, Ca. which is outrageiously expensive. I cried when the Republicans re-gained office because I knew I was about tobe broke again. If Obama becomes the party nominee I will vote MCCain in the fall. The media has savagely torn Senator Clinton to shreds. Once again we are coming up with a less than qualified candidate with only 4 years of public life and no politicalrecord to speak to.

I'm a middle class WORKING black woman and all I can say is that I want EXPERIENCE running this country - a leader for the people. During the Clinton era, we the AMERICAN people (economy included) were in the best shape that we have seen in a LONG time. I support Hillary Rodham ALL THE WAY!!!! She has my vote, too bad others here in the Peach State did not think that way!

I think that Hillary would make an excellent president! In addition to being very smart and having a great deal of experience her, spouse was our former president! When the Clinton's were in the white house, our country was run more smoothly! They were apart of the country, not the owners of the country! They oversaw the country as a part of it; they were not trying to be the rulers but apart of the country! I remember when Bill Clinton's limo got stuck in the mud, and he got out of the car and helped push it out of the mud
