Obama sweeps 3 states, gains against Clinton

Washington: Barack Obama swept Democratic presidential contests in three US states on Saturday, striking the latest blows in a bruising back-and-forth battle with Hillary Clinton for the party's nomination.
Obama cruised to decisive wins in Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington to gain momentum in a deadlocked, state-by-state fight with Clinton where every delegate to the party's summer convention has become crucial.
"Today, the voters from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast to the heart of America stood up to say yes, we can," Obama said at a party dinner in Richmond, Virginia, a state that votes on Tuesday.
"We won in Louisiana, we won in Nebraska, we won in Washington state, we won North, we won South, we won in between, and I believe that we can win Virginia on Tuesday if you're ready to stand for change," the Illinois senator said.
Among Republicans, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee easily won the presidential contest in Kansas, showing signs of life in a nominating race front-runner John McCain has nearly sewed up.
Huckabee and McCain were running close in partial returns in Louisiana and Washington, which also voted on Saturday in the Republican race to choose a candidate in November's presidential election.
Huckabee, whose campaign has been fueled by support from social and religious conservatives, captured about 60 percent of the vote in Kansas, more than double McCain's total.
"This race is far from being over," Huckabee told reporters after crushing McCain in Kansas, just two days after the Arizona senator became the all-but-certain nominee with the withdrawal of his chief rival, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Republican contest
Huckabee is now the only major opponent for McCain, who has rolled up more than 700 of the 1,191 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination at this summer's convention.
Texas Republican Ron Paul also remains in the race. Obama cruised to easy wins in Nebraska and Washington, doubling Clinton's tally with more than 60 percent of the vote in partial returns, and he was comfortably ahead of Clinton in Louisiana. Obama also won in the US territory of the Virgin Islands, which has three delegates to the nominating convention.
Clinton, a New York senator, and Obama, an Illinois senator, are about even in pledged delegates but well short of the 2,025 needed to win the nomination.
Democratic rules allocate delegates on a proportional basis statewide and in congressional districts, meaning even the loser in each state can win big blocks of delegates. It was not immediately clear how the delegate count would break down in the three states, where a combined 158 convention delegates were at stake.
Obama, who would be the first black US president, had been the favorite in all three contests. In Louisiana, he had been expected to benefit from a high percentage of black voters, his strongest supporters.
Exit polls showed blacks made up about half of the turnout in the state on Saturday, and Obama won four of every five of their votes. Clinton captured about 70 percent of whites, with Obama taking about one-quarter of their vote.
The contests in Nebraska and Washington were caucuses, which require voters to turn out at specific times. Obama had focused on caucus states, which play to his strength by favoring strong organizations and grass-roots enthusiasm.
In the Republican race, McCain still faces widespread opposition from conservatives unhappy with his views on immigration, tax cuts and other issues.
Huckabee's win in Kansas, one of the most reliably Republican states in the country, appeared to underscore McCain's problem. Huckabee promised at a conference of conservative activists in Washington to continue his shoestring campaign at least until McCain clinched the nomination.
"I know that I won't drop out until at least that happens and then we'll see," he told reporters, denying he was hoping to become McCain's vice-presidential running mate. Huckabee also shrugged off a call from Texas Gov.
Rick Perry, a McCain supporter, urging him to drop out. "I did not major in math, but I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them," Huckabee said at a rally at the University of Maryland in College Park.

India overcome nerves after Ishant gives the jitters

Melbourne: Exactly 10 days ago, India's humiliation in the one-off Twenty20 here signalled ominous signs for an inexperienced side, in for another month of pain. Four matches into the Commonwealth Bank Series though, India returned to the MCG, and returned the humiliation to Australia.
India's fast bowlers did a number of their own on the Aussies, but victory didn't come easy for the visitors as they stumbled and scrambled their way to 160, collecting their first win of the series by five wickets with 4.1 overs to spare.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (17 not out) and Rohit Sharma (39 not out) shouldered India over the line at a time when India had looked in quite a bit of a soup at 102-5, securing their first one-day win at the MCG after 21 years.
Once again, Virender Sehwag's bat fired blanks. The Delhi dasher had one boundary off an outer edge to show when Nathan Bracken wrapped him on the pads to send him back. But his opening partner Sachin Tendulkar was in no mood of an early walk back.
After Hayden's 21-ball 25, Tendulkar was the only one who batted with intent. He didn't have many boundaries to show — only three — but they came in one Brett Lee over, and they never came any better than that.
Lee, who is enjoying perhaps his season of utmost content, was steaming in at over 90mph when he ran into Tendulkar's fit of frenzy. The first was carved out through point. The second, probably the best of the lot, was met with fierce power right down the ground that went at the double the speed it was delivered, while the third was even straighter, again at frightening speed.
With runs drying up from the other end, Australia silently worked themselves back in the game. Irfan Pathan, promoted at No. 3, lasted 30 balls for his 18 when he was trapped by Mitchell Johnson, before Gambhir, centurion from the last game, played out a circumspect 43-ball 21 before losing his wicket.
Tendulkar, who had a healthy strike-rate throughout his 44 from 54 balls, too felt the pressure when he was snapped up brilliantly by Brett Lee at mid-off, before Yuvraj Singh's woes were compounded with his dismissal for three.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma chose to remain quiet, prodding and collecting whatever came their way, until cashing in on Australia's part-timers to register a win that got India back on top of the points table.
Electing to bat, Australia folded up inside 44 overs, putting up 159, after having trumped World Cup finalists Sri Lanka in the previous game. The chief architect: 19-year-old Ishant Sharma, with figures of 4-38, completed a spell that perhaps went unfinished in the rain-hit tie against the world champions in Brisbane.
