Hi everybody. So I picked an article from CNN about the democratic race between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama. Super Tuesday showed a split decision for the democrats with Clinton barely pulling out a few more delegates than Obama. Tuesday gave Clinton 582 of her total 823 delegates, and Obama 562 of his total 731 delegate votes. They will need to reach 2025 delegates to win the party nomination. The biggest win of Tuesday was California, which Clinton won, but Obama still received 441 democratic delegates. Clinton also won New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts; and primaries in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arizona and American Samoa. On the other hand, Obama won Alabama and Georgia with major support from the African American community, as well as Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, North Dakota and Kansas. He won primaries in Alaska, Utah, Delaware, Connecticut and Illinois. In all of the mist, the remaining democrats have rose over $100 million, and together spent $21 million on television advertising in the past two weeks.
Still to come are the Washington and Nebraska caucuses on Saturday, and the Maine caucuses on Sunday. And the following Tuesday is the Virginia, Maryland, and District of Columbia presidential primaries
I picked this because everybody was so sure that Obama was going to pull way ahead with Super Tuesday, yet it was the Opposite. Clinton showed that she is here and going strong
