美總統選舉:希拉里勢危 換競選經理救亡
Barack Obama, already claiming a "new American majority," surged past Hillary Rodham Clinton for the first time in the all-important delegate race for the Democratic p
residential nomination, sweeping a trio of presidential primaries in and around the US capital.
Clinton, considered the overwhelming Democratic favorite just a few weeks ago, was left to turn her attention to next month's races in Texas and Ohio in an attempt to pump new life into her stumbling campaign.
On the Republican side, John McCain took another step in shoring up his credentials as the runaway front-runner by winning all three primaries Tuesday in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC, despite lukewarm support from the party's conservative base. The victories helped the Arizona senator save face after embarrassing losses to rival Mike Huckabee over the weekend.
Combined with his five-contest sweep this past weekend, Obama has seized the momentum in the Democratic race, and is counting on wins in Wisconsin and his birthplace Hawaii next week.
At a rally at the University of Wisconsin, Obama characterized his surging campaign Tuesday night to a crowd of 17,000. "This is what change looks like when it happens from the bottom up," said the Illinois senator, who is aiming to become the country's first black president. "This is the new American majority."
Looking ahead to November, he said that although he honors McCain's experience as a war hero, he is linked to failed policies put in place by President George W Bush.
The Associated Press count of delegates showed Obama with 1,223, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as super- delegates. Clinton had 1,198, falling behind for the first time since the campaign began. Neither was close to the 2,025 needed to win the nomination at the party's national convention this summer in Denver.
