Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner in Ohio and Rhode Island, while Barack Obama has been declared the winner in Vermont. Texas, at this point, is too close to call.
It ain’t over. Go Hillary!
UPDATE: (12:07am) Hillary’s email from tonight is below the fold.
UPDATE2: (12:53am) CNN projects that Hillary has won the TX primary.
It’s a pretty incredible feeling, isn’t it? After our victories tonight we have the momentum, thanks to your will, determination, and hard work.
Some people were ready to count us out. But you and I proved them wrong, just as we have every time they tried to declare this race over prematurely. And we’re going to keep showing them exactly what we can do.
We’re going to do it for everyone across America who’s been counted out — but refused to be knocked out. For everyone who’s stumbled — but stood right back up. And for everyone who works hard — but never gives up.
I hope you enjoy our victories tonight as much as I am. We won this one together, and that makes it that much better. Thank you so very much for all you have done for our campaign.
Let’s build on this remarkable momentum. Each and every one of you can make a statement tonight by going to www.hillaryclinton.com
Thank you so much for everything you did to make this night possible.
All the best,
Hillary

Woke up at 4:30 this a.m., switched on MSNBC, and lo and behold, a new day a’dawning. Can’t get back to sleep–now, if only the market would go up about 800 points.
Keep the faith and wait for PA and Ed Rendell to kick in!
Congrats!
He’s still ahead in delegates….
Unfortunately it isn’t over. Yet for Hillary to REALLY have won and been a viable candiidate she needed to win Texas and Ohio with a 65% margin in both. Something she failed to do. But then Hillary and the Corporate Media moved the goal posts so everyone can celebrate this incredible victory. The fact that Barack Obama shaved her lead down all the way down to the finish line is simply lost in the celebration.
I had hoped for a democratic campaign that focused on the issues. However, since Hillary can’t win on the issues this democratic campaign has ended up in the gutters. I am really saddened because it will end up leaving Obama no choice but to descend into the gutters and start heaving dirt himself. The Republicans (who have been racing to the polls in Texas and Ohio to vote for Hillary) are having a hay day with this…taking notes and starting to brainstorm their McCain campaign ads. I’m sure McCain loves Hillary’s experience endorsement of him. OF course, McCain is not about to endorse Hillary’s experience. McCain can legitimately say “what experience” when he’s compared to Hillary.
Sorry Vivian….I respect you alot but we definitely differ on our choice of Dem candidates.
Focused on the “issues”? When the difference on the issues is negligible by anyone’s estimation, what exactly do you want to talk about? The only difference in their stances is that Hillary wants mandated health care and Obama does not.
This is where I differ dramatically with the Obama supporters, Mosquito. I have not written anything negative about Obama. I’m from the school of “if you can’t say something nice…” yet anything that is written about Hillary by Obama supporters is nothing but negative. Y’all don’t want to talk about issues – you want to talk about past votes on Iraq, not how we’re getting out, which both of them agree is necessary. Y’all want to talk about NAFTA when they both agree that the agreement needs to be revisited.
And talk about moving the goal posts! First it was Republicans were voting for Hillary because they wanted her to be the Dem nominee. When that didn’t pan out, it was that Republicans were voting for Obama because either they wanted a chance to vote against Hillary or because they truly believed in him – take your pick. Now we’re back to Republicans are voting for Hillary. Which is it? Are Republicans voting for Obama or for Hillary?
At the end of the day, it is about electing a Democrat. And it does neither camp any good to continue on this self-destructive path.
Skeeter,
You might want to take another look at Sen. Clinton’s “endorsement” of Sen. McCain. Read it carefully and in context this time.
Vivian…I have such a difficult time with Hillary’s version of universal health care…FORCING people to purchase something they may not be able to afford is not my idea of universal health care.
On the issue of universal health care I wish everyone would stop playing politics and simply get it over with…save approximately 35% on current costs by cutting out the middleman–insurance companies which do nothing to make health care better….and make the quality of health care worse.
This is a major issue for moi….and I have such hard feelings about the first betrayal on this issue by the Clintons….I wish I felt she was trustworthy Vivian…but nothing in my experience with Hillary Clinton gives me a modicum of trust….and since I’m not a democrat I would have to sell my soul in order to vote for her under any circumstances…..and that makes me very sad b/c I think McCain is a horrible choice for president.
Such a predicament….buzz…buzz…
I’m not buying that anyone that has to buy insurance will not be able to afford it. That is just a talking point. Let’s look at the facts: a well respected health care economist has toted the numbers and says that Obama’s plan will cost each newly insured person $4,400 while Clinton’s will cost $2,700.
I’m no health care expert but 20 years of being self-employed and paying outrageous premiums for little coverage tells me I’d be better off under the Clinton plan.
