Wins in Ohio and Texas

After 11 straight wins by Obama, Hillary Clinton made her presence felt and scored wins last Tuesday in Ohio and Texas. This is one of the last biggest challenges for both Obama and Clinton as they race neck to neck for the Democratic Party nomination.

No, I won’t vote in November but Chief and I have been following the US elections closely in CNN and through on-line news.

According to reports, Obama said, "We know this: No matter what happens tonight, we have nearly the same lead as we did this morning, and we are on our way to winning the nomination." Still confident.


Clinton, hoping to become the first female president in the US told backers in Ohio, "As Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Well, this nation's coming back and so is this campaign. People of Ohio have said it loudly and clearly: We're going on, we're going strong and we're going all the way." Photo by Carolyn Cole of the Los Angeles Times.

Despite the weather, voters responded and made their strong presence felt in record numbers

There is no problem on the Republican side as Arizona senator, John McCain, would surely clinch the Republican nomination. He received the endorsement of President Bush. But that could work against him specially with the war on Iraq a big issue.

Closer to home, people are slowly making their presence felt on the streets and that would be another blog.
