Democrat Hillary Clinton forged a dramatic resurrection of her White House hopes yesterday by beating Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas, ensuring the historic nomination race is far from over.
It was an amazing turn of events and a must-do for Clinton after 12 straight losses to Obama over the last month.
As expected, Clinton won Rhode Island. Obama easily picked up Vermont in the pivotal four-state contest.
“As Ohio goes, so goes the nation,” Clinton told cheering supporters in Columbus, Ohio, after her first big win of the night.
“We’re going all the way,” she insisted, noting that past presidents have all won in the state. “We’re going to make history.”
Clinton adopted a take-off on Obama’s signature phrase “Yes we can” by yelling out: “Yes, we will!”
Obama, however, was still leading in the all-important delegate support.
