Obama Wins 12th In A Row
Senator Barack Obama won his 12th contest in a row taking the state of Vermont’s election today, exit polls show.
Estimates show Obama winning 58% to 40% as the numbers continue to come in. John McCain won the Republican primary race against Mike Huckabee in both Vermont and Ohio.
The voting in the large delegate states of Texas and Ohio are still too tight to call. Separately, Rhode Island, where Senator Hillary Clinton had a lead in the day leading to the vote, also is still too close to call.
Clinton needs big wins in both Texas and Ohio to prevent super delegates from abandoning her campaign. Obama has now won 27 states compared to Clinton’s 11. He leads in the total delegates count 1,386 to Clinton’s 1,276.
Clinton was ahead in the super delegates count by 105 the beginning of February; Obama has shaved that led to only 38 and could overtake Clinton in the next two weeks.

But he won't take Ohio and Texas. Ain't gonna happen.

If the shoes were reversed, if Barack lost 11 primaries in a row, then all we would be watching tonight is McCain sewing up the GOP nomination. The press would have long ago drummed Barack out of the race.
I said it wasn't going to happen and it didn't!
Oh yeah - you may start referring to Hillary as Madam President.
Sounds good!
