Hillary Clinton Back on Track, Takes Three of Four from Barack Obama

It was make or break for Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on Tuesday and the New York senator responded with key wins in Texas and Ohio and added a victory in Rhode Island to rejuvenate her campaign against fellow Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Clinton scored and impressive victory in Ohio, capturing 55 percent of the vote compared to 44 percent for Obama. That translated into 71 much needed delegates for Clinton while Obama picked up another 57.

Speaking at her victory rally in Ohio the one-time front-runner said “You know what they say - ‘As Ohio goes, so goes the nation’..This nation’s coming back and so is this campaign.’

Texas was much closer but Clinton edged out a victory in the end with 51 percent of the vote, Obama earned 48. Clinton added 25 delegates to her count while Obama picked up 14.

While Clinton had the big night Obama did take Vermont and held his overall delegate lead with a 1477-1391 advantage. Despite the advantage it remains unlikely that the Democratic Party will have a nominee before their Convention. With just ten states left to vote there are slightly more than 600 delegates remaining to be picked. In order to secure the Democratic nomination the candidate must secure 2,025 delegates, a figure unlikely to be reached by Obama.
