WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Barack Obama survived defeats in three primaries Tuesday with his lead the delegate race essentially intact.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton netted only a 12-delegate pickup, despite winning primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, according to an analysis of returns by The Associated Press. There were still 12 more delegates to be awarded.

In the overall race for the nomination, Obama had 1,562 delegates, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates. Clinton had 1,461. It takes 2,025 delegates to secure the Democratic nomination.

For the night, Clinton won at least 185 delegates and Obama won at least 173.

Clinton's victory in Ohio won her only 9 more delegates than Obama, with two delegates still to be awarded. In Texas, Clinton won four more delegates than Obama in the primary.

How does Penn look, is it leaning towards Hillary or Obama. I think Hillary since she won Ohio and a lot of the politics are similar

Well, what do you expect, she lost 11 straight, she needs to win 11 straight to reach him, even if she wins the rest of the states remaining she won't secure the delegates!

All Obama needs is to knock her of and go on the offensive, and win Penn state, misissippi and Wyoming! and she is out of the race!

Shirib, sxb there are still 58 total delegates up for grabs in the next two contests; PA and MS.....If he loses PA, MS alone should increase his lead. I am not worried.
