Clinton, McCain win New York primaries
February 5, 2008
Updated 9:38 p.m.
The Associated Press


Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., right, greets a woman after casting her vote at the Douglas Grafflin Elementary School in Chappaqua on Tuesday in the New York Democratic primary.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton beat back a strong challenge by Barack Obama on Tuesday to win her adopted state in one of the most compelling state primaries in years.
Sen. John McCain defeated Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to claim all of New York’s Republican delegates.
Although Clinton won New York, Obama seemed poised to get a big chunk of New York’s 232 Democratic delegates. The Associated Press made its call based on surveys of voters as they left the polls.
Clinton was tested by Obama in heavily black neighborhoods in New York City and liberal upstate stretches and on college campuses in his campaign to be the nation’s first black president.

For local results from tonight's Democratic and Republican presidential primaries, click here.
In the Republican primary, McCain had the backing of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in his quest for the state’s 101 winner-takes-all delegates. Giuliani ended his campaign last week after a poor showing in Florida’s primary, the latest of several defeats after leading the GOP field months ago.
A WNBC/Marist Poll last week found most New Yorkers felt Clinton was best able to handle the economy, the Iraq war and health care, but Obama embodied the best chance for undefined “change.”
At an elementary school Tuesday, Clinton with her husband and daughter signed autographs on sample ballots for people at the polling place.
“If voters ask themselves who they think would be the best president, and if Democrats ask who they think would be the best candidate to win, I feel really good about the answers to those questions,” she said.
Of New York’s 232 Democratic delegates, 151 will be split based on the vote in each of the state’s 29 congressional districts and the remaining 81 will be divided based on the statewide popular vote. A Democratic candidate must get 15 percent of the vote in a congressional district to earn delegates.

People just because there are "polls" wanting your 'very important yet humble opinion' or maybe a microphone and camera around doesn't mean we have to answer....stop tipping our hand.....

Let them run around like pigs in a poke.....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
