Sen. Hillary Clinton had a bad weekend, to say the least. Sen. Barack Obama is closing in on her with his charismatic "We need change now" campaign, no matter how hard she fights. After he won contests in three states on Saturday, he only trails by 27 delegates. This caused fear and nervousness to Clinton and her loyal supporters. Recognizing potential failure of getting the Democratic nomination, she knew she had to make some changes of her own. She , Patti Solis Doyle, to a senior adviser position and put longtime adviser, Maggie Williams, in her place yesterday. Clinton now has 1,148 delegates and needs 2,025 to win the nomination.
Sen. John McCain is still in a far lead, but is confronted by a desperate Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is still standing strong in the race. McCain won the Washington caucus, but lost the Kansas caucus and Louisiana primary to the hopeful Huckabee, who claims that he still believes in miracles. McCain has a total of 723 delegates and Huckabee has a non-threatening 217 delegates. The Republican candidates need 1,191 delegates to win the nomination.
