Headlines, Feb 20 – Barack Obama continues his momentum as he sweeps states
across the country, picking up two more contests. An easy win in his home
state of Hawaii and a big win in Wisconsin allows him to slightly expand
his narrow lead in delegates.
Obama received overwhelming support in
all demographics, except for Hillary
Clinton's strongest base - white women
over 65.
Clinton downplayed the importance of Wisconsin in recent days, sensing
defeat there, instead turning her attention to March 4th primaries of Texas
and Ohio.
Pacifica veteran correspondent and Political Science Professor at
Cal State University provides some analysis.
"Well for the Clinton campaign
it's a warning that Obama has a lot of momentum behind him. It's interesting
to notice that the media obsessed over racial and gender issues, only 12
percent of the polls said race was important to them and only 15 percent
said gender was important to them."
Hillary Clinton is touting a new do or die speech. It
consists of the must know differences between her and Obama.
