Clinton or Obama?

The race for the presidency has seen major turnout from voters. The question is who will win Texas and Ohio for the Democratic Party. Obama has the momentum, but Clinton holds the Latino suppport that could determine who wins the Texas, Ohio primaries. In Super Tuesday Clinton held the hispanic vote 63% to Obama's 35%. Obama led with the African American vote 76% to Clinton's 18%. It is true that the black and hispanic vote will have something to do with who is going to represent the Democratic party come November. This article says that Hispanics, or African American wont have the last word, it says that Anglos will be the deciding factor on who becomes the Democratic candidate. It states that Hispanic and African American vote are evenly supporting the democratic candidates, and that the Anglo vote will decide who the winner will be. I think that the Anglo vote will affect the race but not as much as the Hispanic and Afican American vote. These candidates are candidates that we've never had before, a woman and a African American man running for the presidency. Women and Hispanics want Hillary to win the Democratic party, African Americans and men want Obama to win. As soon as March 5th comes around we will be able to see who will be our Democraic candidate. I think that if either one of these Democrats candidate wins office they should elect the other running democratic candidate as their Vice President.
