U.S Democratic race over? Clinton doesn’t think so

obama-crop.jpgWASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Somebody forgot to tell Hillary Clinton the Democratic presidential race is over and Barack Obama won.

Clearly you need to correct the opening of your article. When last I checked, there were ten states that haven’t yet voted for a candidate. A presidential race is “over” when either a candidate has dropped out of the race, a candidate has earned the required delegates to claim the nomination and halt the race, or all  states have voted, and the candidate with the most delegates has won. Thank you for your commitment to the facts.

Tara O. From everything I’ve heard Reuters is supposed to be a news organization and not a tabloid. Journalists, who work for news organizations are supposed to report on facts. Yet this article seems to be tabloid material or propaganda. R.W.

One comment so far

I agree that the race is NOT necessarily over. An unexpecting turn can take place and throw us all for a loop! As much as I want Obama to win, Hillary has a right to continue. I just hope the Dems are able to heal from the wounds in the aftermath. We are giving McCain way too much ammunition. He’s got front row seats!
