Hillary Wins Rhode Island, Ohio, and Texas

It’s nearly midnight here in Minnesota, and Hillary Clinton has won in Rhode Island and Ohio, and she’s still hanging on to a slim lead in the Texas primary. As she gave her victory speech in Columbus, Ohio the crowd went wild, interrupting her several times to chant “Yes, we will,” the more determined version of the Obama camp’s “Yes, we can.”

(Watch the video of Clinton’s speech here.)

According to CNN, we may not know the final results from Texas until morning.

Oops! I just checked a couple of online news sources and discovered the networks have projected Clinton the winner of the Texas primary.

And minutes ago, I found this message from Hillary in my Inbox that says it all:

It's a pretty incredible feeling, isn't it? After our victories tonight we have the momentum, thanks to your will, determination, and hard work.

Some people were ready to count us out. But you and I proved them wrong, just as we have every time they tried to declare this race over prematurely. And we're going to keep showing them exactly what we can do.

We're going to do it for everyone across America who's been counted out -- but refused to be knocked out. For everyone who's stumbled -- but stood right back up. And for everyone who works hard -- but never gives up.

I hope you enjoy our victories tonight as much as I am. We won this one together, and that makes it that much better. Thank you so very much for all you have done for our campaign.

Let's build on this remarkable momentum. Each and every one of you can make a statement tonight by going to www.hillaryclinton.com

Thank you so much for everything you did to make this night possible.

All the best,
Hillary


What a day this has been for Hillary Clinton, her campaign staff, and her supporters around the country.
