McCain Seals Nomination: Clinton Wins Ohio

Posted on March 4, 2008

Super Tuesday Part II has been a wild night so far. On the Republican side, John McCain sealed the nomination; Mike Huckabee conceded the race tonight and endorsed McCain. They were both able to go to bed early. By 11:45 p.m. Eastern time, Hillary Clinton has won Rhode Island and Ohio by big margins. Barack Obama won Vermont by a big margin. Texas is still too close to call, but it's looking like Hillary will pull out a victory here tonight, which would be a major upset. Currently, Hillary Clinton is leading by around 55,000 votes.

Hillary made it clear in her victory speech that she is in the race to win it. Flanked by Governor Strickland, Senator John Glenn and Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Senator Clinton gave an energetic speech to a happy crowd in Ohio.

Barack Obama seems a bit subdued as he talks to supporters in San Antonio, but is rallying the crowd with "Si, se puede". One thing's for sure. The Democratic primary is far from over. Next up is Wyoming, Mississippi and then in April: Pennsylvania.
