In an amazing contest, Hillary Clinton won three of the vote contests yesterday taking Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island - Barack Obama won in Vermont, it is possible Obama could still win more delegate in Texas than Clinton due to a hybrid system of a Primary and a Caucus. Neither Clinton or Obama are anywhere near having enough delegates to be sure of victory nest.

In Texas Clinton took 51% to Obama's 47%. In Ohio Clinton took 55% to Obama's 43%. In Rhode Island Clinton took 58% to Obama's 40%. In Rhode Island Obama won with 60% to Clinton's 38%.

In terms of delegates all the counts still have Obama ahead from 61 delegates with MSNBC to 106 delegates with ABC. Most show a range of Obama being ahead between 86 to 92 delegates.

The next contests will be in Wyoming on March 8 and then Mississippi on March 11 - the combined number of delegates from these states is just 45. The next 'big' state is Pennsylvania with 158 delegates on April 22.
