Obama wins big in North Carolina, nearly ties Clinton in Indiana (U.S., 93 articles)
|
A big vote in favour of candidate X, in a given state, usually mandates a certain proportion of that state's delegates to vote for candidate X's nomination at the convention. Returns from 92 percent of North Carolina precincts showed Obama winning 56 percent of the vote to 42 percent for Clinton, a triumph that mirrored his earlier wins in Southern states with large black populations. Democratic voters from Indiana and North Carolina reveal who they will vote for in their states' primaries on Tuesday and debate who they think will win the tightest of races for their party's nomination.

SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo's stock took a beating Monday after Microsoft withdrew its $47.5 billion takeover bid, but the punishment wasn't as severe as many analysts had anticipated because investors think the rivals eventually will renew their mating dance.

Oil price hits another record high (Finance, 16 articles)
|
Retail gas prices fell more than a cent over the weekend, but oil's advance increased the likelihood that pump prices would resume their climb. Oil futures jumped to a new record of $97 a barrel Tuesday after bombings in Afghanistan and an attack on a Yemeni oil pipeline compounded the supply concerns that have driven crude prices higher in recent weeks. Crude oil prices could surge to $200 a barrel in the next two years, according to the Goldman Sachs analyst who three years ago correctly predicted a price "super-spike" above $100 a barrel.
