'Yes she Will', Hillary Clinton Wins three of Four as the fight continues in the Democratic race

"For everyone here in Ohio and across America who's been counted out and refused to be knocked out... this one is for you,"

LOS ANGELES (Catholic Online) - In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Senator Hilary Clinton surprised many political prognosticators by winning the sought after Ohio and Texas Primary elections.

She also won Rhode Island, leaving her rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Barack Obama, with only Vermont.

To the chants of "Yes, she can" from her enthusiastic supporters, a revived Clinton gave an upbeat speech in Ohio before hitting the campaign trail again, telling her supporters:

"For everyone here in Ohio and across America who's been counted out and refused to be knocked out, and for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you,"

Balloting in Ohio was wrought with difficulties. A record turnout in the Buckeye State was exacerbated by the use of new tabulation methods put into place after the difficulties of the 2000 election.

However, when the dust settled, the Senator from New York proved herself to be another "comeback kid" by the name of Clinton.

In all of the Democratic Primary contests, delegates are chosen proportionally. So, the two victories for Clinton still leave the Democratic contest hotly contested from a delegate perspective. Final tabulations are still being analyzed. However, there is no doubt that the results of "Super Tuesday II", on the Democratic side, have shown that this race is far from over.

The victorious candidate proclaimed to the crowd, "This nation's coming back and so is this campaign."

Senator Obama sang a very different tune on Tuesday night giving anything but a "concession" speech. He told his supporters, "No matter what happens tonight, we have nearly the same delegate lead as we did this morning, and we are on our way to winning this nomination"

One of the Illinois Senators Senior Advisors David Axelrod told the Press that the allocation of the delegates left the race as a "wash" and pointed them toward upcoming primaries in Wyoming, Mississippi and Pennsylvania with these words of warning:

"We have not hesitated to draw distinctions between the candidates and we'll continue to do that... If Sen. Clinton wants to take the debate to various places, we'll join that debate. We'll do it on our terms and in our own way but if she wants to make issues like ethics and disclosure and law firms and real estate deals and all that stuff issues, as I've said before I don't know why they'd want to go there, but I guess that's where they'll take the race.''

So, what many had speculated as the least likely scenario has occurred, the "Pennsylvania scenario", a long continuing slug fest between the Democratic candidates.

After a long night, the two Democratic Presidential contenders and their staffs awakened to engage in another seven weeks of verbal boxing which will lead to three scheduled bouts and a final contest on April 22 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Doug Hathaway, a spokesman for the victorious Clinton campaign noted, "Pennsylvania is the new Iowa."

This one is far from over.
