Clinton declared winner in Rhode Island
Hillary Clinton has pulled out a narrow, but key, win in Rhode Island, breaking Barack Obama's winning streak that stretched to 12 with his win in Vermont tonight.
Rhode Island, which will award 21 delegates, was long thought to be Clinton territory, where she had the support of most of the Democratic establishment. But Obama closed in the polls and held a big rally in Providence on Saturday.
Exit polling showed that more than half of voters said the economy was the most important issue facing the country, far more than those who picked the war in Iraq or healthcare.
About three-quarters of voters in the Democratic primary say they are worried about their family's financial situation over the next year, according to the exit poll conducted for the TV networks and the Associated Press.

I don`t understand why anyone would vote for Hillary. If people did their homework instead of listening and believing the garbage that spews forth from her mouth they might have a different opinion of her. The American public needs to know that the state of our economy, the mortgage fiasco, the stock market downturn were in was created by the Clinton Administration. Back in the 1990`s then President Bill Clinton believed and set the stage for everybody who wanted to own a home whether they could afford one or not should be able to get one. Thus the beginning of the housing boom and of course all those new homes needed to be furnished and of course then they needed electricity phones,computers,cable and more just look around your own house for what was needed. The stock market took off and a lot of people made a lot of money then. Then a couple years ago the teaser mortgage rates and the variable rates shot up and hundreds then thousands and now millions of fore closures and with all that the crash of the stock market which has put us in the depression were in. Millions of people can`t or are having trouble paying their oil heating,gas and electric bills and lets not forget the ever rising food prices. Now we hear there are at least a couple hundred banks across the country are in trouble with more to come. And to top it all off the government wants we the responsible people who have worked hard all our lives to achieve a home and a decent life style to use our tax dollars to bail all these people out who were irresponsible and put themselves in this position by buying something they couldn`t afford in the first place. And remember if Hillary get`s in the White House, she doesn`t have the brains to run the country, she couldn`t even run her own house with all of Bill`s affairs, which went on for years, And personally I believe she was guilty of the White Water crimes and her friends husband got her out of it by having someone else take the rap and go to prison. Bottom line I believe is Bill Clinton will once again run the country from behind Hillary`s skirt. Lastly remember that Clinton at the time gave us the largest tax increase in U.S.History. You can look forward to more of the same.mortgage rates and the variable rates shot up and hundreds then thousands and now millions of fore closures and with all that the crash of the stock market which has put us in the depression were in.
