At 11:50 PM Central Time on Tuesday night, the battle for the Democratic nominee still continues as neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton has clinched enough delegates in Texas to secure a victory in the Lonestar State. The day, dubbed informally as Mini-Super Tuesday, has possesssed all of the exciting tension that evolves around this heated contest. With the recent series of events, including the multi-state winning streak for Obama, comedic appearance on SNL by Clinton, and back-and-forth in a "fear factor" political ad war, things are heating up more and more as the race continues. Tonight Vermont gave Obama 15 delegates in a 60%-38% victory while Ohio and Rhode Island showed support for Clinton by significant margins. Former President Bill Clinton remarked last weekend that Hillary must win both Texas and Ohio to gain momentum for the race. Tonight, after the Ohio victory, Hillary seemed to gain some of the energy and enthusiasm back in order to become a second "Comeback Kid". Currently 193 pledged delegates are at stake in Texas. For an entire evening the results have been excrutiating close to call, as Obama and Clinton waivered between 49%-50% and differed by as little as a couple thousand counts at a time. In a state where everything is bigger, the battle of political delegates is huge.
