Why Hillary?

As I do not know any passionate Hillary voters, I am opening up a question to all of you Clinton backers out there. Why do you think she is the best candidate? If you wish, make your case for Senator Clinton in the comments for this post.

Chesapeake Tuesday: Obama takes MD, McCain sweeps as well

Senators Barack Obama and John McCain both swept to victory on Chesapeake Tuesday. Obama's victories were by large margins, almost 2-1 in MD and VA, and 3-1 in DC. Huckabee gave McCain a good fight in VA, but the winner-take-all nature of the state's primary means McCain took all of the delegates. Although still not official, it appears McCain will be the GOP nominee in November.

For Senator Clinton, it comes down to Texas and Ohio. She not only needs to win these states, she needs to win them big. If she doesn't, it will be very hard for her to overcome Obama in the delegate count. His goal isn't necessarily to win those states, but to keep it close. However, if he does win, it might be time for Hillary to gracefully exit the stage so the general campaign can begin.

Chesapeake Tuesday: Obama wins DC and VA

Obama makes it 7-0 since Super Tuesday, as he wins big in Washington D.C. and Virginia. Maryland has yet to close, due to issues with inclement weather. This wasn't a big surprise, although there was some thought that Senator Clinton might compete in Virginia.

Still too close to call for the Republicans. McCain will likely win all of the states tonight, but Huckabee is certainly having a strong showing. McCain is still likely the nominee, but Huckabee is certainly keeping things interesting.

Obama vs. Clinton: A Comparison

This site has several links to comparisons between Obama and Clinton. It, like August Prairie, has a pro-Obama slant, and I am sure there is some cherry picking going on. However, it definitely shows that Obama is more than an eloquent speaker, but also a very capable leader.

Clusterf%@k Tuesday: Obama on a Roll, Huckabee playing big in the South

Obama has taken several states so far: UT, ND, KS, and AL. However, his biggest prize (so far) is CT. That is a sweet victory for him, squeezed into that Hillary block up in the Northeast.

It is obvious that neither campaign is going to knock the other one out. Still, the biggest prize is waiting out west. California closes in 33 minutes.

On the GOP side, Huckabee is having a good night. He is going to take AR, AL, and WV, and is in good shape in TN, MO, and GA. McCain has a bunch of delegates, but he can't be happy.

Clusterf%@k Tuesday: 2 Hours to CA

Hillary Clinton wins NY and MA, Obama takes DE. Not any surprises again, although Obama would have liked to be more competitive in MA.

Still a bunch of states that are too close to call. It could be a long night.

Clusterf%@k Tuesday: No surprises yet

Damn you Mr. Olbermann, scaring the crap out of me by calling TN "too close to call" initially, before giving it to Clinton.

No surprises so far, with Obama adding IL to his column, and Clinton taking OK and AR in addition to TN. CT, DE, MA, and NJ are still too close to call, a good sign for Obama.

On the GOP side, McCain has captured NJ, DE, and CT, with Romney taking MA and Huckabee taking AR. Again, no surprises.

Still over two hours to CA closing.
