Let’s turn next to the presidential race and what could be a defining day tomorrow. Four primaries two of them considered must-wins for Hillary Clinton. Voters go to the polls tomorrow when Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont. Ohio and Texas are crucial. Barack Obama leads in the delegate count, 1385 to Clinton’s 1275 according to a count by ABC News. And it’s a very tight race still as ABC 7’s L.K. reports, it is putting a lot of pressure on Clinton.
At the Obama campaign office in P.V. volunteers made as many caucuses as they could until 9 p.m. Texas’ time, trying not only to persuade Texans to vote for Obama but to educate them on the process.
“Especially for the caucus which happens in the 7: 15 in the evening and we have to make sure that they know where to go.”
Depending on the outcome, tomorrow’s primaries in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont could either / Obama’s frontrunner status or mark a new beginning for Hillary Clinton. Today, she continued with her aggressive attacks, this time seizing on a memo written by a Canadian official who’ve met with an advisor to Obama’s campaign. According to the memo, the Obama advisor said talked about after the campaign trial should be viewed as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans.
“You know, I don’t think people should come to Ohio and tell the people of Ohio one thing, and then have your campaign tell a foreign government something else behind close doors.”
The Obama campaign says the remarks are misconstrued and the Canadian government has sent apologies for any mislead information. Obama himself told reporters his position on after has always been consistent.
“And that’s the answer in contrast, Senator Clinton’s position on this issue, which has all turn to substantial.”
How odd this would affect voters tomorrow remains to be seen. Clinton needs Ohio and Rhode Island, while Obama leaves in Texas and Vermont.
“I hope we would be able to have a closure tomorrow”
/ was a member of the Democratic National Committee and an Obama’s supporter.
He says that if Clinton loses either Texas or Ohio, pressure would be mounting for further colleague quits.
“We, of course, do not wanna see our own party members and candidates attacking each other. Ideally we’d like to be focusing our attention on the real issues and going forth on the general election on that candidate on the other side of the /.”
Clinton, however, appears almost defiant that have made any suggestion that she / she fails to win Ohio and Texas. In fact, the Clinton campaign says if Obama loses any one of the four primaries that would prove voters are having doubts about him.
