Super Tuesday
Senator Clinton fires back after Senator Obama attacks her voting record
February 5, 2008 - Despite narrowly losing the contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, the Obama campaign remained hopeful after their big win in South Carolina. During the debates and on televised advertisements, Senator Barack Obama went on the offensive against Clinton, attacking her support for the Iraq War and other policies pushed by the unpopular Bush administration. These attacks, despite initially gaining ground for Obama's campaign, caused the Clinton campaign to go on the defensive and boosting her support in polls. The previous debate on January 31, however, did nothing to help either candidate.
Both candidates campaigned heavily across the nation in hopes of motivating supporters of turning out to the polls, however both candidates and pundits were certain of what would be the results of the night.

"A Great Day for Women" - New York Times.
Senator Clinton emerged as the victor of Super Tuesday, overshadowing Barack Obama by about 150 delegates in that night alone.
"Tonight is a great night not just for us, but for women all across America!" said Senator Clinton at a post-Super Tuesday rally.
Senator Obama, however, was beginning to lose hope in the primaries. Rumors began circulating that the young Senator may drop out soon, however he assured his supporters that he will keep fighting until the very last day of the primaries.
(Sorry if this post is kinda crappy, but tbh I really want to start posting about the general election
