Listen to the story

Addressing her victory rally, Hillary Clinton claimed the tide was turning. Once again she has proved that she can win the big battleground states that will be crucial in a general election.

Barack Obama still retains the overall lead, but her attacks and his missteps appear to have hurt. The white, working class voters he'd so carefully courtedturned out in force but not for him. He has already moved on to Indiana, the next contest. Hillary Clinton's not yet turned the tables but she's proving hard to beat.
