Ladies First

The Tuesday primaries are history with the race taking a surprising turn. On the Democratic side (obviously the more interesting because of its diversity), Hillary was able to rally the ladies back to her side of things. This ultimately was the deciding factor in her 2 point victory over Obama, 39 to 37%. The 5 day momentum Obama pick up didn’t quite translate into votes as the 94% gave him 100,444 to Clinton’s 108,381.

Meanwhile on the flipside, the Republican Party stayed true to its predictions (like republican’s reputation, right?). McCain finished strong with 37% of the 94 percentage total. Romney trailed at a mediocre pace with 32%, and Huckabee fell way behind with 11%. The interesting thing about the Republican race this time is that Rudy Giuliani (who happens to be my personal favorite) leaped over the remaining candidates to finish behind Huckabee with 9%. Although Rudy haven’t shown any sign of being a true contender since the start of the rallies, he still remains optimistic hoping for no clear leader before the Florida primary. Keep you head up Rudy!
