Super Tuesday Update

Polls closed in Ohio and are closing soon in Texas, exit polling data is out from both places. Here is what we know:

On the Democratic Party side, exit polls give Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton give a slight lead in Ohio, by two-three points and other data is looking good: Sen. Clinton won white women and white men in Ohio; voters 44 and over; and those voters making less than $50,000. She also closely won households which have union members, 52, Obama 46.

In Texas where polls don't close for another ten minutes, exit data says: Hispanics went for Sen. Clinton 64-35 percent. Among those deciding late, it was Sen. Clinton 66, Sen. Obama, 34. And women went for Sen. Clinton 54-46.

Now some polls will be staying open later in Ohio because of problems and weather.

Sen. Obama has been declared the winner in Vermont which also voted today; Rhode Island, a small state which also votes today has Sen. Obama in the lead according to exit polls.

Reports now indicate that Sen. Clinton will stay in the race no matter what. Analysts are saying Ohio is too close to call at the moment with the two candidates running about even.

Sen McCain is winning big both in Ohio and Texas. Say hello to the new Republican Party presidential nominee.
