Hillary Clinton stopped the Barack Obama victory train in its Democrat Party tracks on Wednesday morning Thailand time - and renewed her chance to be the next US president.
John McCain, far behind in the race just a few months ago, officially clinched the Republican Party nomination for the November election.
John McCain is the Republican presidential candidate after four more overwhelming victories on Wednesday morning, and his chances of capturing the White House in November may well be better than people outside the United States think. Only last summer, McCain's presidential run appeared doomed as he struggled to raise money and was forced to cut staff and shutter campaign offices. He had called for a troop buildup long before Bush's own January 2007 "surge" order. That hardline stance on the war contributed to McCains early struggles, until the surge seemed to quell the violence in Iraq, reinvigorating both the US mission and McCain's own prospects. One of McCain's toughest tasks will be energising and uniting his own party ahead of November. Turnout in Democratic primaries has consistently been higher than in Republican state contests. As for the Democrats, who are consistently out-polling McCain at the moment, Wednesday morning was all about Hillary. Clinton roared back into contention with big- state victories in Texas and Ohio, a comeback that promises to drag out the Democratic race for weeks - or even months. Clinton still narrowly trails Obama in the delegate count, but her victories Tuesday in the two big states and tiny Rhode Island breathed new life into her faltering campaign and snapped Barack Obama's 11-state winning streak. Obama easily won in Vermont, another very small state, and remained in a strong position to win the nomination for the November 4 presidential election, mainly because he will be awarded his proportion of delegates in the states that sided with Clinton. Obama congratulated Clinton on her wins but stressed that his edge in delegates to the centre-left Democratic Party's nominating convention in August remained intact, given that all states award delegates proportionately. "No matter what happens tonight, we have nearly the same delegate lead as this morning, and we are on the way to winning this nomination," Obama told supporters in San Antonio, Texas. Clinton disagreed. "You know what they say - as Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Well, this nation's coming back, and so is this campaign," Clinton told ecstatic supporters in Columbus, Ohio. "Ohio has written a new chapter in the history of this campaign, and we're just getting started." Then, in a much closer race, she also won the vote in Texas. Obama hoped coming into Tuesday that by prevailing in Texas he could virtually knock the New York senator out of the race. Even former president Bill Clinton publicly acknowledged that his wife had to win both big states to keep her campaign alive. Clinton was holding a small lead in pre-election surveys in Ohio, but trounced the Illinois senator with a victory margin exceeding 10 percentage points. More primary elections lie ahead, but it appears the Clinton-Obama duel will be decided at the Democratic Party's national convention in July, in Denver, Colorado. The next big primary takes place in Pennsylvania on April 22, and there will be smaller contests in Wyoming Saturday and Mississippi later this month. Early polling shows that Clinton is the preferred choice among Democrats in Pennsylvania and has already won all of the big states that have cast ballots. Obama, however, has proven successful at piling up the smaller states. (BangkokPost.com, Agencies)
