Texas/Ohio fallout - The State of the Race
Obama may have lost a hard fought battle for votes in Texas and Ohio but the race is far from over.
As of today Obama has 1,477 total delegates from 24 states. This puts him just ahead of Hillary Clinton who has 1,391 delegates from 16 states.
In a rallying and thoughtful speech recorded in San Antonio just before the Texas results Obama congratulated Hillary Clinton and John Mcain on their recent victories. He then went on to remind the public of his roadmap for change in America:
It (change) begins on street corners and front porches; in living rooms and meeting halls with ordinary Americans who see the world as it is and realize that we have it within our power to remake the world as it should be.
