11. YES
They are also waiting on San Antonio. Also, Dallas and Austin have only 10% reporting. There is no way Hillary takes Texas...

24. Isn't there a hold on the caucus results...or at least questions
by the Hillary campaign? I was listening to the phone call at Politico, and it sounded like they were going to sue Texas or something.

29. More specifically ...
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#TX

Houston is in but the other big areas are not. There are still a lot of rural counties out, but it's obvious that the big urban centers can swamp that vote.

I do find it telling that all the areas that traditionally swing for Republicans are swinging for Hillary Clinton. In an open primary, this is especially relevant. There are a LOT of Limbaugh listeners out there who may be doing exactly what Rusty commanded them to do. VOTE HILLARY!!!

I suppose tomorrow everyone will be eating some portion of crow. But it looks now like Obama gets a 10 point victory in Texas and Hillary gets a narrow victory in Ohio. Obama wins the night, that means Hillary loses BIG!!!

19. You know what is weird
Clinton is way ahead in RI with 75% of the vote in. Exit polling showed it tighter. Maybe they haven't counted Providence yet.

Right now it's 59 - 39

21. Exit polls say Hillary wins Texas and ...
Rhode Island -

Male (43%) - 56% Obama, 43% Clinton
Female (57%) - 58% Clinton, 41% Obama

Ohio -

Male (41%) - 52% Obama, 47% Clinton
Female (59%) - 54% Clinton, 45% Obama

Texas -

Male (43%) - 52% Obama, 46% Clinton
Female (57%) - 53% Clinton, 46% Obama

----------------------
Now crunching the above data ...
If the above exit poll numbers hold ...

Clinton wins RI with 53%

Clinton wins Ohio with 52%

Clinton wins Texas with 52%

A trifecta for Hillary



May the best person win!

26. CNN's cooking these numbers a little... just a simmer. Here's how.
Harris County 1%

Meanwhile all the rural counties in absolutely nowhere Texas are at 100%.

So it's a little cooked: it's a conspiracy to keep us up all night looking.

It looks like Obama's got Texas with some small margin to me.

30. Something tells me that there's more than a few cooked rural races... Vidor, for instance.
If you ever have to stop in Vidor, don't.

40. Hubby said he heard they did not have to be in until Friday.
And the fact that the Hillary campaign is squawking and threatening won't make counting easy.

41. Exit polls never lie....Clinton's up by three points, she'll win Texas....Another big win.....
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 12:51 AM by GreenTea
for Hillary Clinton in a another big state...But, it's still, on to another big state, PA, in order to tie the Convention up in knots....IF....Clinton wins in PA (and she does now have the momentum)...well, then, it's probably hers!
