What’s your reaction to Tuesday’s primary results?
If you’ve listened to or watched the analysis of Tuesday’s primaries in Texas, Ohio (and Rhode Island and Vermont) for the past couple of weeks, you know one thing for certain: It could be a decisive day.
Or, it might not be.
John McCain is in a position to decisively claim enough delegates to seize the Republican nomination for president. The analysts all say he’s likely to get the requisite number Tuesday night, leaving him the last man standing in what was, three months ago, a crowded field.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were still in a race going into Tuesday. Again, the “analysts” were saying Obama could clinch, with a whopping victory in the big states of Ohio and Texas. But at the very least, they expect him to solidify his “front-runner” position in the contest for the Democratic nomination.
What’s your take on the results as you see them now? Is there more clarity for you about where the presidential race will go at this point? Let’s talk strategy and the nuts-and-bolts of the campaign — and not spend another TOTD bashing one party or the other. OK?

Clinton will take Texas and win hands down. People are realizing Obama doesn’t have enough experience and is all talk. Relatives in Arizona say McCain did not do a thing for their state and he is a big goof.

Fear triumphs over hope
Dont understand the comment #1,#2; guess Im just not smart enought.Dont worry I will still win
Enough of all you goin to run now and exercise; poke fun all you please; if not taking flak
I think that enough Republcans followed Rush Limbaugh command to vote for Hillary in Texas and Ohio to push for a Hillary Clinton nomination to run against McClain, thats what I think.
In fact, I know that McClain will win as our President if he runs against Hillary Clinton because he will have my vote over her it comes to that. The Hillary campaign is doing the same thing that the Bush campaign did to McCain, putting that lie out there that McCain had a illigitimate Black child and that lie caused McCain to lose against Bush.
I will not vote for anyone who would allow such sneaky dirty politics. All should be tired of dirty and dishonest politics.
We deserve ruin in this country if we the people cannot be discerning, falling for every little deceitful trick in the book.
Discernment, a gift only few seem to have in Washington D.C. Such as those few who actually voted against the war in Congress. Discernment is the key here. A true gift that one should look for in the candidates. McClain, Obama and Clinton.
Too bad Conservatives did not support Huckabee.
Goes to show that people are still willing to do the same thing over and over again the same old way, expecting a different results.
I say, “wake me when it’s over”. I fully expect to support whomever the Democrats nominate. In the meantime, I have jobs to work, a garden to plan, etc.
It looks like Hillary is still in the game, I do believe that she would be easier for John McCain to defeat in November.
D. Walker….I thought many of the conservative “talking-head” radio pundits were going to vote for Hillary if McCain got the (R) nomination? Just two weeks ago, McCain faced a booing crowd of conservatives at the CPAC conference where he was denounced as a fake Republican.
If Limbaugh is trying to help McCain, he sure has a strange way of showing his support.

Do you really believe that any Republican would vote for Hillary over McCain, afterall he is still the Republican Party.
Lastly, it is exactly what Rush Limbaugh did. On his talk show he directed Republicans to go Democrat in Ohio and Texas and vote for Hillary. You know why?
Because Republican McCain will beat Hillary Clinton hands down. People trust McCain, buit do not trust Hillary.
McCain has proved that he can work across non-partisian lines, Hillary cannot. It will be a disaster for anyone to become President who cannot work across all party lines in this present state that this country is in.
People are crazy if they think Hillary is going to end the Iraq war, or whatever the heck it is over there. She will come up with an excuse for not doing so.
I am tired of Hillary whinning, in fact, she has gotten an easy ride, no one has been on her about :
1. non-disclosure of tax refunds
2. Whitewater
3. The suicide of her partner and her going in removing documents before investors investigated.
4. Hillary Clinton was a weight around President Clinton’s Presidency. Everything was Hillary’s mess and corrupt dealings, that is everything outside Clinton’s little action in the White House with Monica.
She speaks of the Monica Lewenski situation as being a crisis that she had to deal with as though it somehow proved her worthiness as a leader of this country. When in fact, it proves just how cold she is. Jennifer Flowers was her real crisis because she was a real threat to her marriage, not Monica Lewenski.
Many woman have had the crisis of a cheating husband, the example be used as showing that she is able to handle a national crisis was pathetic, and one we never should have had to deal with in the first place in the way our government and Clinton himself dealt with it.
Hillary Clinton is not an honorable human being, if people would only open their eyes they will see it because it is not hidden.
What type of woman are these woman really who are supporting Hillary Clinton, I am a all for woman who are competent and capable, but I cannot imagine the conflict this country and even Bill and Hillary will have among themselves if this couple is in the White House together. People are not being wise concerning this situation and conflict that is certainly to surfice and not be good for this country. Two people in the same house trying to wear the same pants? Big trouble ahead if we place those in in our White House.
Nicely said, D. Walker.
The young and independents will rush to McCain if Clinton is the choice on the democratic side.
The Republicans are terrified of Obama being on the ticket because they know they cannot beat him.
