Most important wins for Obama and Clinton?
This topic is just meant for fun.

just list in your opinion the most important wins for each candidate.

My opinion:

Clinton:
1. New Hampshire- needed this to stay alive, and it completely revived her.
2. California- huge win. If Obama had won this, he would have won Super Tuesday. It was also a big deal by the size of the victory.
3. Massachusetts- another Super Tuesday state. Here she had a big win, and it was even bigger due to Obama's endorsements from there.
4. New York- yeah we knew she would win, but she picked up quite a few delegates here and kept Super Tuesday close.
5. Arkansas- one of few southern states she has won, and she did it by a huge, huge margin. Once again, a Super Tuesday state.

Obama:
1. Iowa- started everything, deserves to be the number one spot.
2. South Carolina- huge 28% margin gave him the momentum he needed going into Super Tuesday.
3. Caucus states on Super Tuesday- yeah this is kind of cheating doing a category, but oh well. He had gigantic, gigantic margins in these states which canceled out Hillary leads in places like California and New York.
4. Wisconsin- needed this going into Texas and Ohio. The polls were close, but he won by 17%. If he had lost, he certainly would have lost some momentum and that would of been a really bad break. Instead, he completed the sweep with this and Hawaii. Also, this was a huge win due to the fact that Hillary should of had a big advantage.
5. Illinois- we knew we would win, but this was the biggest delegate margin of any state for either candidate on Super Yuesday.


anyone else want to give their own list?
