After Super Tuesday neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have a clear winner and the battle goes on to the next round. Elections were held in 24 states to determine presidential nominees for the major political parties.
The democratic presidential campaign has Clinton from New York as the first woman to have a realistic chance to win the presidency, and Barack Obama as the first African-American. Both candidates are appealing to different constituencies with totally different leadership styles. While Obama is trying to create a social movement in the nation, Clinton is willing to unify the country with a common purpose.
The democratic race to the White House is definitely in an amazingly tight. At the end of last week; Clinton was ahead with 1,045 to Obama's 960. However, the election train has not stopped yet in Obama’s territory; moreover, his ability to energize the people and pull new voters is one of the most intriguing aspects of the race. There are many African-Americans, affluent voters, students, and independents that haven’t have the chance to vote yet.
Both candidates’ are doing their best through the campaign appearances. Actually, both were already scheduled to address tonight's Jefferson Jackson Day dinner at the Siegel Center. Obama also plans to hold a town hall meeting in Roanoke on Monday morning while Hillary Clinton scheduled an event in Manassas in tomorrow’s afternoon. On Monday, she will address a class on politics at the University of Virginia.
Clinton has also accepted a half hour televised interview on WJLA-TV, the ABC-affiliated station in Washington as the same time as Obama is expected to appear on a separate interview.
On the Republican side; McCain is coasting towards victory after Super Tuesday primaries; he won nine states, including California, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and his hometown Arizona. Republicans need 1,191 to capture their nomination. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had 244 and Baptist minister Mike Huckabee was on 187, according to the tally.
The battle for the top spot will have it next stop in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, follow by Hawaii, Washington, and Wisconsin next week. The last part of the campaign will continue in Rhode Island, Vermont Ohio and Texas on March to end June 7 with Puerto Rico.
