Texas and the Delegate Race

post from TalkLeft on 04 March 2008 11:57:00 PM. © TalkLeft

Big Tent Democrat

Texas is close. And Hillary has the Latino vote to thanks for that. In El Paso, Hillary is winning by 70-30 with 12% of the returns in. In Webb County, she is winning 77-21, with the votes just started.

We'll keep watching this race until it is called.

On an another note, the delegate race looks promising for Hillary tonight. After Gloria Borger said that Vermont (which divided 9-6 for Obama) would provide the largest delegate margin, CNN currently projects Ohio to provide Hillary a 46-24 delegate advantage with many to be decided. In Rhode Island splits 5-1 currently for Hillary with 15 to be decided. Texas remains to be seen. So far tonight, Hillary has gained 23 delegates with many still to be decided.

One last thing, for the first time in this campaign, we seem to have had a real Bradley Effect in its classic sense. Obama substantially underperformed the exit polling in all the states so far, including Vermont. The exit poll called Ohio and Rhode Island close. Obama was trounced by double digits in both states. Texas remains to be seen. Obama was trounced by Clinton with whites, women, the working class and Latinos. the questions remain about Obama's ability to win big contested states if he can not perform in these demographics. The Obama fans will play ostrich about these issues, but the issues are there.

Full Texas results may be not be in until
Saturday

post from AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth on 04 March 2008 11:51:00 PM. © AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Saturday? The current wisdom is that Obama will win more delegates in Texas because of the combined caucus/primary system. So, they split the 4 states, 2 for 2. What remains to be seen is how many, if any, net delegates Hillary picks up tonight. I.e., can she inch closer to Obama's delegate numbers or not? And, as we've written before, it still doesn't matter because the math says she can't catch up.

Obama speech

A concession speech. It's been a while since he's had to do one of these.

Super Tuesday Part Deux continued

We’ve had so many comments on our earlier thread—we needed to start another one.So, how many times did John McCain say “My friends?” Hillary wins Ohio and is ahead in TX at this moment, but Obama is still ahead in delegates. Hillary spoke with great confidence and Obama is smacking down McCain’s vision of America. [...]

Obama's Speech to Supporters

Obama is in San Antonio, a city he didn't win. I wonder why he picked it to spend tonight.

He says we may not know the Texas results until tomorrow. He congratulates Hillary on Rhode Island and says while there are a lot of votes out in Ohio, she "apparently" won there.

We have the same delegate lead we had this morning and we are on our way to winning the nomination. "Si se puede."

Decades ago as a community organizer........ (again?) Talks about youth, a reason to believe, inspire the nation to come together, we are turning the page, we are ready to write the next chapter.

He says he congratulated McCain and now starts to attack him. Now he reverts to his stump speech. Same phrases, change in America, Wall St. vs. Main St., John McCain and Hillary Clinton have echoed each other mocking his call for change. They should know the words did not begin with him, but in factories in Ohio and TX, etc. I'm waiting for a JFK or MLK, Jr. reference, not yet.

Similar to Hillary, got an envelope from a poor woman with money inside. Lectures on how parents need to put a book rather than a video game in their kids' hands. We rise and fall as one...brother's keeper....
