Cameroon Tribune in the Democratic Caravan

Under cover of the U.S. State Department, our reporter has experienced some great moments of this event. He was in Pennsylvania through a study tour organized by the U.S. State Department for the international press.

Body and soul, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who are competing for the Democratic nomination for the presidential elections November 4, have plunged into battle after the primary elections in Pennsylvania on April 22. The former U.S. first lady won this crucial election without surprise with 54.7% of votes, against 46.3% for her competitor, and it has reinvigorated the race.

Predicted as the favorite by polls, Hillary Clinton moved in a territory that seemed acquired. During its meetings, she could not stop recalling that her grandfather had worked in a lace factory and that her father “had played football” at the State University at Pelestra. However, the Senator from New York failed to widen the gap considerably, though supported by the political elite Democrats of Pennsylvania. Having beaten her colleague from Illinois, she is expected to be able to restart in the race with more serenity and confidence.

“If Mrs. Clinton does not have a lead of at least ten points, it is possible that she will concede the nomination to Barack Obama. Many observers believe that if she does not win a decisive victory, she can’t continue,” explained Abe Amoros, communications director of the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania, met at the local party headquarters in Harrisburg, the capital of “The Independence State.”

With Guam over three days ago, the two Democratic contenders will meet May 6 in Indiana and North Carolina. Looking ahead, the brawl will continue. Swell!
