In what was widely regarded as a make-or-break day for her campaign, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton came away with three victories on March 4. She won Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, while Sen. Barack Obama won Vermont. Republican Sen. John McCain officially won his party's nomination Tuesday, with the 1,191 necessary delegates. According to Associated Press counts, Clinton gained at least 115 delegates and Obama received at least 88. Almost 170 delegates have yet to be allocated, including 154 from the Texas primary and caucuses that followed. Obama had 1,477 delegates total, and Clinton had 1,391. It takes 2,025 delegates to get the nomination. |
