Obama still failed to put the stake thru Hillary's heart...it was a split decision.....In any event it is good for McCain as the fight to the finish goes on...Hillary is loaning herself huge sums and whoever is the nominee....they will both be pretty well dinged up going in to the general...they have managed to transform what should have been an easy win for the dem nominee into a real contest that McCain has a good shot to win...

the split decision underscored some of the Illinois senator's weaknesses and the party's fissures -- and left the likelihood that the nomination marathon will continue inconclusively for a final month, to be decided ultimately by the hundreds of party leaders known as superdelegates. Tuesday's outcome confirmed that many white voters had developed doubts about Sen. Obama after weeks of attention to his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose views were seen as racially charged and anti-American.

Nearly half the voters in both places said the controversy over Mr. Wright was important to their decisions, and they overwhelmingly supported Sen. Clinton, according to surveys of voters conducted for a consortium of major media. Video clips of Mr. Wright's most fiery sermons surfaced before last month's Pennsylvania primary, contributing to Sen. Obama's nine-point defeat there. As the issue waned, the reverend reignited it just over a week ago, with a series of public appearances that prompted Sen. Obama, campaigning in North Carolina, to repudiate him.

The fallout among working-class white voters is likely to follow Sen. Obama to the next battlegrounds -- West Virginia, which votes next Tuesday, and Kentucky, in two weeks. He is favored in Oregon, which also holds a primary May 20, and in the final primaries June 3 in Montana and South Dakota. The campaign's increasingly bitter focus on race is a turnabout from its start more than a year ago, when Sen. Obama promised to transcend the country's historic racial divisions as well as its political ones. The Illinois senator drew significant white support in this year's early contests. But his margins with white voters have grown smaller, and black voters have largely abandoned Sen. Clinton, as the candidates' rivalry has intensified and each side has traded charges of playing the "race card."
