Hillary Hanging Tough

Well, the democrats are certainly providing some drama to this years presidential race. Senator Clinton had her back against the wall in the March 4th primaries, and she pulled out crucial wins in Ohio and Texas.

While the wins will not eat much into Senator Obama's small delegate lead, these wins were clearly symbolically important. They show that she can still win, although it seems like momentum is still with Senator Obama.

With Senator Clintons wins, it seems assured that neither will drop out and neither will have enough delegates to win outright. The super delegates will be even more important. These super delegates can also change who they pick, they are not bound by their initial pledge.

Will this come down to the Democratic convention this summer? Is the race going to turn nastier as both seek to get the nomination?

Senator McCain now has enough delegates to win the Republican nomination. I'm sure that he would like the Democrats to prolong this fight and rough up the eventual winner a bit.
