On Tuesday, both Senators Clinton and Obama attempted to claim to be the winner of Super Tuesday.

Sen. Barack Obama: “Two weeks ago, we were trailing Senator Hillary Clinton in some national polls by as much as twenty points. Last night, we won more delegates, and we won more states in every region of this country. We won big states and small states. We won red states, and we won blue states, and we won swing states. So I believe that we had an extraordinary night. It was a big victory for our campaign.”

The Obama campaign says the Illinois senator will wind up with slightly more delegates from Super Tuesday, but the Clinton camp has rejected that claim.

Sen. Hillary Clinton: “We had a great night last night with victories across the country and ending up once again with a total of more votes and more delegates and lots of energy from voters who decided that they really needed a president on day one to be able to manage the economy and provide the leadership that is going to be required to deal with the problems facing our country.”

According to CNN, Clinton had a slight edge over Obama in the popular vote on Super Tuesday. Of the 14.6 million Democratic voters who voted on Tuesday, 50.2 percent backed Clinton, 49.8 percent backed Obama.
