Super Tuesday -Super Tuesday practically defined the Republican nominee, John McCain, but on the Democratic side it just intensified the head to head race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, reports Univision Online, in the Spanish language version of an AFP article. According to RealClearPolitics.com, Clinton now has 1,060 delegates, and Obama has 981, after 22 primaries across the country. 
Texas - "After being pressured by rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama on Thursday agreed to participate in a Texas presidential debate before the March 4 Democratic primary," reports Al Dia (TX). Obama also announced that he would debate Clinton on Feb. 24 at Cleveland State University in Ohio, the article adds. "This is the politics of hope and the new politics where we don't see the same old patterns," said Garry Mauro, Clinton's Texas campaign chairman. "Refusing to debate because it might give you a political advantage is not what I hear Senator Obama and Senator Clinton talking about in this campaign. When it was Hillary and the six dwarfs, we could have not shown up for the debates, but we did," Mr. Mauro said. "In Texas, we're ahead in the polls, so I would consider it an opportunity for Obama, if I were him"... "After receiving huge support from Latino voters on Super Tuesday, Hillary Clinton's campaign trusts that Hispanic voters in Texas can help her secure the nomination," reports La Opinion, in an EFE wire story. The southern state of Texas, and second largest in the country, and a state that has a Latino population of 36%, will hold its primaries on March 4th. In a press conference call held yesterday by the Clinton campaign, Sen. Menendez said that the "Latino community is no longer a sleeping giant."

Fundraising - El Diario La Prensa (NY) reports that Sen. Obama has raised $7.2 million since Super Tuesday. The article also adds that Sen. Clinton had a $3 million goal for three day; and also reported that she recently loaned her campaign $5 million... "Battling for every dollar and delegate, Barack Obama raised $7.2 million in Super Tuesday's wake and Hillary Rodham Clinton pulled in $6.4 million, stunning totals reflecting the intensity of their neck-and-neck race for the Democratic presidential nomination," reports El Nuevo Herald and La Opinion, in the Spanish language version of an AP article. 

New Mexico - "The Democratic primary in New Mexico has yet to be resolved, due to the small difference of voters between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama," reports La Opinion. "With 183 of 184 electoral precincts counted, Clinton holds a 1,192 vote lead over Obama - 67,921 to 66,829 votes," adds the article.   

Latino Vote - "Latinos who voted with enthusiasm this Tuesday, breaking records and boosting their national influence had one other thing in mind besides the battle between candidates and parties: to answer to a desire to change the course of the political decisions that affect the lives of the diverse community," reports Pilar Marrero for La Opinion. Marrero adds that Hillary Clinton obtained the vast majority of the Hispanic vote during Super Tuesday.  

Florida - "It's a dead heat presidential election. Florida Democrats are howling about disenfranchised voters. One candidate demands that every vote be counted in Florida. No way, says the other, decrying efforts to steal an election. Bush vs. Gore in Florida in 2000? Wrong. Try Clinton vs. Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Conventional in Denver," reports El Diario Las Americas. "Sure, it's unlikely, but it's also absolutely plausible after a nationwide Super Tuesday primary left Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama poised for a long, delegate-by-delegate slog. It takes 2,025 delegates to win the nomination. The Associated Press calculates Obama and Clinton are less than 100 delegates apart as of Wednesday - 1,045 for the New York senator and 960 for the Illinois senator. So, if the neck-and-neck delegate race continues, how Florida's and Michigan's delegations are treated could decide the nomination."

GOP - "John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering campaign. 'I must now stand aside, for our party and our country,' Romney told conservatives," reports El Diario La Prensa (NY), El Nuevo Herald, Houston Chronicle, La Voz (AZ), Diario La Estrella, El Paso Times and OregonLive.com, in the Spanish language version of an AP article... Hoy (Chicago), La Opinion and El Diario Las Americas also pick up articles on Romney's withdrawal.
