繁體中文Democratic Primaries
May 7, 2008
Senator Hillary Clinton and rival Barrack Obama split primary victories last night, with Clinton winning Indiana by 2 percentage points and Obama taking North Carolin by a large margin. Yesterday was Clinton's last opportunity to significantly cut into Obama's lead in the delegate count, but the mixed result means that the 187 delegates, which are awarded proportionally, will be split between the two candidates. To be able to clinch the Democratic nomination before the convention, a candidate needs 2,025 state delegates. After the count last night, Clinton now has 1,686 delegates and Obama 1,842.
