Obama Wins Big; Time For Clinton To Leave Race

O08buttonNorth Carolina voters gave Barack Obama a huge win tonight and in Indiana, a state that has always been in Hillary Clinton’s column, the race is still too close to call hours after the polls have closed. Regardless of how Indiana turns out the race for the nomination is effectively over.

Barack Obama has won the popular vote, the most states, and the most delegates.

Republicans cannot be happy. In Indiana, Rush Limbaugh asked right-wing listeners of his show to cross party lines and vote for Clinton and it appears his followers did just that in record numbers. The GOP knows that Clinton would be an easy target come November.

Working class voters turned out for Obama tonight in North Carolina. Exit polls show he won those making under $50,000 and people without a college degree. Clinton was said to be doing well with this group. It is time for the New York senator to leave the race and make room for Senator Obama to unify the party and set the stage for the November election.

America cannot afford another four years of George W. Bush’s policies and that is what John McCain is promising. We need to end the war, fix our schools, expand health care coverage, and make the economy work for every American – not just the rich.
