3 out of 4 ain't bad

sen. clinton wins 3 out of 4 primaires, albeit not by much. cnn:

sen. hillary clinton got her campaign back on track with projected wins in the texas, ohio and rhode island primaries.

delegate-rich texas and ohio were considered must-wins for her campaign.

obama, who claimed victory in vermont, had won 12 straight contests since super tuesday on february 5.

texas also held democratic caucuses tuesday, but it was too close to declare a winner.

don't hold your breath for the texas caucus, sen. clinton.

on a related note, mike huckabee finally realized what the rest of the world already knew: he's out of the race.

mccain won primaries in texas, ohio vermont and rhode island, giving him more than the 1,191 delegates needed to clinch the gop nomination.

"i am very, very grateful and pleased to note that tonight, my friends, we have won enough delegates to claim with confidence, humility and a great sense of responsibility, that i will be the republican nominee for president of the united states," mccain told supporters tuesday night. watch mccain claim victory »

mike huckabee dropped out of the republican race after the results came in.

"it's now important that we turn our attention not to what could have been or what we wanted to have been, but now what must be -- and that is a united party," huckabee told a crowd in dallas. watch huckabee bow out »

Huckabee, huh? Clinton is down by roughly 90 delegates, Huckabee down by nearly 1000.

And if the DNC hadn't entirely stripped away all delegates from Michigan and Florida, this election might not remain in limbo until the convention. Now those states remain in contention, do-overs or what have you. If Obama and his supporters concentrated on running FOR an election, instead of running FROM an election, maybe he'll survive to actually win this thing.

We turned on the TV just in time to hear Huck reading Travis' letter from the Alamo. My sweetie, not a native Texan, got the most comfused look on his face. I told him what it was as soon as I could stop laughing. Damn! I guess we won't get to see Chuck Norris take on Gov. Goodhair now.
