He fired at Barack Obama likening him to other political tyrants. “Obama just came back from meeting Ahmadinejad; he’s got a meeting the next week with Kim Jong Il of North Korea. Then he’s going to saddle up next to Hezbollah; they’re going to have a little cookie-and-cream party. All’s going to be right with the world,” Cunningham said.
When McCain took the stage, he said, “I regret any comments that may be made about these two individuals (Obama and Clinton) who are honorable Americans. I will take responsibility in any offense that was inflicted.”
McCain currently has 998 delegate votes out of the 1,191 needed to win the GOP nomination.
Senator Hilary Clinton had a last chance to take a stand against Senator Barack Obama yesterday at their 20th debate one week before the Ohio and Texas primaries, where Clinton or Obama could win a complete victory of 289 delegate votes.
The debate took place at Cleveland State University, and last week, they had a debate in Texas at the University of Texas in Austin. Both candidates have been pushing hard to win the nomination, and it shows by their less than friendly comments in the debates.
Clinton currently has 1,266.5 delegate votes, and Obama currently has 1,362 delegate votes out of the 2,025 needed to win the Democratic nomination
