Candidates, Stay Classy in Texas

Senator Obama has caught up to Senator Clinton in only two weeks. Former United States President Bill Clinton went down to Beaumont, Texas preaching that if his wife’s campaign wins Texas and Ohio, Obama can essentially kiss this race goodbye. During the same afternoon Senator Clinton said “It’s time to get real, to get real about how we actually win this election... It is time to move from good words to good works; from sound bites to sound solutions." Senator Clinton also commented on how Senator Obama is give great speeches but offers very few solutions. Since the loss, the Clinton party has lost in Wisconsin from not having enough support from blue collar working Americans and women. Senator Obama also made many more commercial ads than Senator Clinton due to her lack of fundraising in Wisconsin. Senator Clinton said that there will not be a problem in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania with ads and feels pretty good about her chances on taking those three states. Senator Clinton did not congratulate Senator Obama on his wins on Tuesday but did appear worried in her speeches on Wednesday. With March 4th coming around the corner both candidates are putting on there boots and hitting the trail in Texas to take this widely Republican state and convince voters whose economic strategies and health care plans are going to rival the McCain party in the 2008 Presidential election. CNN has calculated the two delegates’ numbers with Senator Obama leading Senator Clinton 1,315 to 1,245. With the numbers being so close for both these delegates, they are both hoping there won’t be any snakes in either of the delegates boots.

Big pockets for Sen. Clinton

Senator Clinton has decided to lend her campaign an extra five million dollars in late January, she announced Wednesday. The race on Tuesday ran very tight between Hillary Clinton and her opponent, Barack Obama. Clinton won two large states, California and New York, on Tuesday. The Obama campaign upset Clinton’s party by winning small states like Alabama and Georgia. At the end of the day, Clinton won over Obama by only 15 points. The Clinton campaign announced that they have set aside twenty million dollars for the presidential campaign because they believe they are going to win the democratic primary. With both parties raising over a hundred million each, the merican people know they’re getting are moneys worth.
