Australia:

HILLARY Clinton staged a remarkable comeback yesterday to win the key battleground states of Texas and Ohio over Barack Obama, meaning the race for the Democratic presidential nomination could now drag on until August.

India:

 With the three wins on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton's campaign has got a fresh lease of life. Political pundits and even some of her beleaguered campaign staff had indicated that if today went off badly, it would have been all but over for her.

By her wins, she broke Barack Obama's momentum of 12 straight victories.

United Kingdom:

Hillary Clinton has revived her campaign for the White House nomination, winning primary elections in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island and seizing back the momentum from Barack Obama.

South Africa:

Democrat Hillary Clinton racked up stunning primary victories Tuesday over Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas, resurrecting her flagging White House hopes and setting the stage for an epic nominating end-game.

Scotland:

HILLARY Clinton has stormed back into the race for the Democrats' presidential nomination by beating rival Barack Obama in crucial primaries in Texas and Ohio.

The former First Lady, whose chances of returning to the White House were being written off by pundits, won a decisive victory in Ohio but a much narrower one in Texas. She also won Rhode Island, while Mr Obama took Vermont.

The results mean the battle to become the Democrat candidate in November's presidential election is likely to continue for some weeks yet.

Hong Kong:

America had its chance to anoint Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential nominee on Tuesday, and America blinked. Possibly because of all the mud Hillary Clinton's campaign flung in its eyes.
