Yesterday’s presidential primary contests breathed new “hope” into the struggling Clinton campaign. Sen. Clinton won the contests in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, while her Democrat opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, took Vermont. It appears the Democrat race will continue with no end in sight.
Sen. John McCain scored convincing victories against his chief GOP rival Gov. Mike Hucakbee. Sen. McCain has now won enough delegates to guarantee his nomination, and Mike Huckabee has withdrawn his candidacy. Only the libertarian-leaning Congressman Ron Paul remains in the GOP race as a high-profile contender.
