Mar. 5, Headlines - A big night in Presidential politics as
Hillary Clinton gained crucial wins, breaking Barack
Obama's winning streak and slowing his momentum. She won Texas, Ohio and Rhode
Island. Votes are still being counted and delegates are still being allocated,
but it's likely Obama will maintain his lead in delegates, the tally that matters
in the end.
Now we go to Texas, a long day of voting
was followed by a long night of caucusing. Clinton pulled off a must win in
the primary here by edging out Obama.
Obama gave an idealistic speech to supporters
in San Antonio.
"The world is paying attention to how we conduct ourselves.
What we say. How we treat one another. What will they see. What will we tell
them. What will we show them. Will we come together across party and region,
race and religion to restore prosperity and opportunity as the birthright
of every American. Can we lead the community of nations in taking on the
common threats of the 21 century …terrorism and climate change, genocide
and disease. Can we send a message to all those weary travelers beyond are
shores, who long to be free from fear and want. That the United States of
America is and always will be the last best hope on earth. We say, we hope,
we believe. Yes we can!"
