Primary Results Split


Clinton wins South Dakota by clinching 56% of the votes while Obama is projected to win Montana by an estimated 4 points over Clinton. Despite Obama declaring "[he] will be the ... nominee," Clinton vows to stay afloat by citing that she will confer with other Democrats about the "best interests of our party."

Meanwhile, McCain, speaking in Lousiana, offered pointed critique of President Bush in an attempt to distance himself from the unpopular incumbent. McCain, speaking just outside Katrina-scarred New Orleans, claimed he and Bush “have not seen eye to eye on many issues,” ticking off the prosecution of the war in Iraq, treatment of detainees, spending, energy and climate change.

He also drew stark contrasts between him Obama. While criticizing Obama on a host of foreign and domestic issues, McCain reserved his harshest judgment for the central premise of the Illinois Democrat’s anti-establishment campaign.
