Clinton wins key primaries: Campaign back on track with wins in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island
CNN: Clinton wins key primaries, CNN projects; McCain clinches nod



(CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton got her campaign back on track with projected wins in the Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island primaries. Delegate-rich Texas and Ohio were considered must-wins for her campaign.

Obama, who claimed victory in Vermont, had won 12 straight contests since Super Tuesday on February 5.

Texas also held Democratic caucuses Tuesday, but it was too close to declare a winner.

"For everyone here in Ohio and across America who's been ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up -- this one is for you," Clinton said before supporters in Columbus.

"You know what they say," she said. "As Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Well, this nation's coming back and so is this campaign."...

2. She won Texas. Caucuses should be done away with.

5. Yes. But in the meantime, we have to deal with the damn things.
At 36% reporting, it's 52 Obama and 48 Clinton.

4. Hillary is doing nothing more than ....
Ensuring a McCain Presidency. By the time November rolls around you will see a huge number of "Reagan Democrats" for McCain.

7. The Texas delegate split was 98-95, so Hillary in fact did not WIN Texas.
Just like she didn't win Nevada, with Barack walking away with more delegates.

The problem is the MSM which the Clintons have brow-beaten into not even reporting facts that are positive to Obama.

The MSM, GOP, and the Clintons are INSISTING we nominate Hillary. It is breathtaking that she has the audacity, no, the unmitigated gall to hint at offering Obama the VP slot. She ISN'T WINNING!! She has no standing to make such an offer. Second place doesn't dictate terms. Second place accepts the loss gracefully and moves on.
