What a race for president this has turned out to be. While the Republican party eventually rallied behind John McCain to make him the potential nominee for president, the Democratic party has been fractured with two strong opposing candidates.

On Tuesday, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama battled it out to pick up steam before the Democratic National Convention later this summer. It has been a whirlwind turn of campaign rallies, town halls, debates, and mudslinging. The ultimate victor may not even be decided until the DNC and may rest with those superdelegates.

Now if you're not familiar with the superdelegate system, basically it means someone who is not pledged to the vote of the people and can vote any way they choose. It is these people that Clinton and Obama will want to court to win the presidential nomination for the Democratic party.

As of Tuesday morning, Obama has an estimated 1,415 delegates and Clinton has an estimated 1,253 delegates. It takes 2,024 delegates to win the nomination.

Extreme conservative Pat Robertson has given his support to one of the Republican candidates for president. Candidate Rudy Giuliani is the lucky man to receive his nod.

While Robertson is known for his social conservative stances on issues such as abortion and gay right, Giuliani meanwhile leans toward a moderate direction on those issues. But it is the war in Iraq and terrorism that draw Robertson to the Giuliani camp.

Robertson feels Rudy is the right candidate to tackle the war on terrorism. Plus, he praised Giuliani as being a fiscal conservative who is tough on crime.
