In the United States, voters head to the polls today in North Carolina and Indiana for two closely contested primary races between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. At a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Senator Clinton said she is best suited to win in November.

Sen. Clinton: “I believe that I would be the best president and the stronger candidate against Senator McCain, and ultimately this is about getting to 270 electoral votes. If the Democratic Party had the same rules as the Republican Party, I would already be the nominee.”

Despite a series of recent setbacks, Senator Obama said he still expects to win the nomination.

Sen. Obama: “Obviously, we’re focusing right now on Indiana and North Carolina. I don’t like to get too far ahead of myself. That’s why I think we’ve done well, is we campaigned state by state. But I’m confident that I will win this nomination, and I am confident that when I square off with John McCain that we’re going to have a serious debate about where this country needs to go.”
