Click to play videoNew Delhi: Hillary is the comeback kid, belying sceptics and her worst critics. She scored an impressive win in Ohio and Texas to keep alive her hopes of winning the democratic presidential nomination.
“As Ohio goes so goes this campaign. We're going strong and going all the way,” Hillary had announced in the wake of her victories.
Hillary had won 54 per cent of the vote in Ohio against Obama's 44 per cent and grabbed 51 per cent of the Texas primary with Obama trailing at 48 per cent. She also scored in Rhode Island winning by an impressive 58 per cent to Obama’s 40per cent.
The Illinois challenger had to rest content with Vermont 60 per cent but he still leads in terms of the number of delegates backing him 1451 to 1365.
“No matter what happens, we have the same delegate lead, and we have a chance of winning this nomination,” Obama told cheering crowds.
The results left the Democratic nomination still wide open but the Republican nominee for president is clearly John McCain, who won all four states and is set to be endorsed by President Bush at lunch on Wednesday afternoon.
“We have won enough delegates. I will be the Republican nominee for President of the United States,” he said.
But for Hillary and Obama the grind continues. Both are expected to hit the road for the Wyoming caucus on Saturday and the one in Mississippi next Tuesday. The big one, of course, will be Pennsylvania next month.
