It looked as though all was lost for Senator Barack Obama, just a few weeks back. How he faught back. He won very convincingly in North Carolina winning nealy 93% of the Afican-American vote and nearly 40% of the rest of the state. Those who said that Obama can win only small and inconsequential states will have to reassess their early opinions. Even in Indianna, the Lake County votes have still not been counted as I write and it is likely that Obama may even win there. Hillary Clinton has not won Indianna, even if she does marginally better, as we all expected that the fire storm over Reverend Jermeiah Wright to swing the votes in favor of Clinton. The two states show that the Senator from Illinois has put ther past behind him and he is still in the race.

The Campaingn from thenside of Hillary Clinton was getting nasty and bitter by the day and it maust be said that Obama by and large played the game in a higly professional and straight manner. Of ourse he did go "negative" but that was certainly not on the scale of the Clinton campaign. He is still the candidate of change and hope and, the vast majority of the democratic voters are being convinced by his message. In Denver, at the Democratic Party National Convention, the Super Delegates will have to take into consideration that unlike Clinton, Barack Obama has demonstrated hios support among a wide swathe of the electorate: African_American, Hispanic, Whites, Women and ofcourse the blue collared workers.

The fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign used the vituperative rhetoric of Rev Wright in the advertisements means that it is no lonmger a factor in the minds of the voting public. And this man is a huge relief.
