The primaries/caucuses for Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont were today. It was expected to be a tight race for the Democrats and a runaway for a Republican; these predictions were not wrong.
Senator John McCain won all four states today and passed the 1191 mark, making him the Republican Nominee. I really have nothing else to say, the man won fair and square, but it doesn't mean I have to like or accept it [which I don't and won't].
The race was and still is tight between Clinton and Obama. Vermont finished first and Obama won with 60% to Clinton's 38%. Rhode Island came next and Clinton won this one, 58% to Obama's 40%. Those were the relatively insignificant states so eyes were set on Ohio and Texas where both candidates were almost 50/50. Ohio's results has come out and Clinton won with 56% to 42%. Although the race was tight, in the early polls, Obama was expected to win. Texas' results have not come out yet, but Clinton is currently leading with 50% to 48%. If she wins this one, she will definitely stay around until the convention.
I really expected Obama to win big and Clinton to have dropped out by tomorrow, but things usually don't go my way *sigh*. The only good thing is more coverage from the guys over at MSNBC. Yippie!
That's all I have tonight, good night.
