Super Tuesday
Democrats have a tight race - Barack Obama speaks out

“Our time has come, our movement is real, and change is coming to America.” — Barack Obama

Barack Obama explains that a house divided cannot stand, “we are not a collection of red and blue states” but we were and always will be the United States of America.   Obama says this year, this time can be different.  Forget about playing games and collecting points, it’s time to look at our mortgages and find solutions!  Throughout his speech he took a few thinly veiled shots at Hillary Clinton and the politics of old.  His entire speech is a recycling of previous major points of his, but woven together it is powerful and gets across his theme for “change”.

Barack Obama says, “this time it’s different,”  as the crowd shouts “Yes we can!  Yes we can!…”

Both  the Obama and Clinton campaign have plenty to celebrate about, although they split the early states the spin is intense from both sides.

Obama claimed wins in two Deep South states, Alabama and Georgia, with overwhelming support from a large African-American turnout despite early endorsements of Clinton by many black officials. And he won Democratic caucuses in three states with mostly white populations — Minnesota, North Dakota and Kansas.  Obama also was projected to win primaries in Delaware, Connecticut and Illinois, which sent him to the Senate in 2004.
