The Primaries: A Race to the End

The Republican primaries have seen a clear front runner in John McCain for some time now, but with his delegate count it is all but set in stone he will be the parties candidate. He reached the 1191 delegate count needed to win on March 4th. The Republican party can sit back and watch the Democrats fight among themselves for now. The Democrats candidate is not as clear as I had previously predicted. Obama now has 1520 delegates to Hillary's 1424. To win the party they need a total 2,025 delegates. I think Obama is still the best bet to win, but Hillary is not going to make it easy. I am hoping Hillary pulls out a come from behind victory. I think John McCain can has a better chance against her. Obama is so popular among people my age (18-35) and has played the "change" card so well he will be tough to beat.
