TX isn't over. Harris and Dallas Counties

[Truth2Tell]

still only partly in. Harris (Houston area) only 14% reporting. Could turn either way....

[durrrty libby]

1. She's 56,000 ahead now.

[meow mix]

3. this election is all about delegates now. obama killing hillary in tx this being the case

[Truth2Tell]

9. Popular vote will affect the spin

and this is still gonna be a spin war for awhile.

[joshcryer]

22. The election isn't about "delegates," it's about coming off as the "winner."

The convention is undoubtedly going to be brokered now.

[Truth2Tell]

5. Obama's gonna net gain

60-70k more in Houston alone if the first 14% are indicative.

[meow mix]

2. Obama is ahead by 10 delegates with the current count

looks pretty good

[PseudoIntellect]

4. Where are you getting the information about the delegates?

But really, things can change as Harris and Dallas counties come in.

11. plus the caucus i guess.. hmm not sure ..

[tammywammy]

18. I don't know how much of the caucus has been reported

I'm going to try and go to bed soon, I figure we'll know more tomorrow.

[madfloridian]

8. And the caucuses won't be counted for a few days.

They were strong for Obama.

[Gore1FL]

10. At this point it doesn't matter

Hillary did not make the gains necessary to be viable mathamatically, unless she capaigns in states that "don't matter".

Obama won the nomnation tonight because Hillary did not make the gains necessary to be realistically mathematically viable.

12. Rolling over the counties on CNN

Rolling over the counties on CNN, it looks like the strong Hillary counties are pretty much tapped out, and those are the sparsely populated areas. The large municipal areas are have yet to come in. I expect to see a Obama victory when the counting is done.

Isn't it strange that the Obamanites are playing the same vote game as Democrats while the Republican states are tending for Hillary?

[ctaylors6]

14. not el paso county. that's only 28% reporting

[BearSquirrel2]

24. We shall see ...

It's hard to make the call without knowing the the weightings. I know the pros have spreadsheets and they are plugging in their weightings. I think that Obama winning the Texas delegate race without the delegate lead would be a somewhat Pyhrric victory.

[BearSquirrel2]

29. The crow is mine ....

Wow, I see the crow is mine. Congratulations to all the ditto-heads crossing over to vote for Hillary. They're doing their job.

[RiverStone]

16. I like your optimism!

If this happens - please shout it out in a new thread (dang - all my threads are tapped out).

Thanks for sharing :hi:

13. No, Texas is over

Obama's going to win it...

14% of Houston votes are in, which give Obama a net gain of 45k votes. Extrapolating this, Obama still has about 250k more votes to gain from Houston. 28% of El Paso is in with a net gain for Hillary of 28k votes. Extrapolating this, she has about 70k more votes to gain from El Paso. Obama also has 50k more delegates to gain from Dallas and 25k more to gain from Austin. Hillary has about 50k more to gain from the south and about 25k more to gain from the NE. So, based on extrapolation, Obama will be up by about 150k votes when all is said and done...

[Truth2Tell]

17. I think a bit less, but still an Obama win. nt

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

27. You're right..

I counted early votes in the Houston extrapolation... I think Obama wins by 50k.

[Redbear]

20. Thats 14% of precincts not 14% of votes

The biggest precinct (the early voting precinct) has already reported.

[Truth2Tell]

15. There are still 250k

unreported votes in the Houston area... 1/4+ of the current unreported votes... and Obama will win those by a net 40k.

[readmoreoften]

19. No. El Paso. San Antonio. Starr county is a 10% with 86% of the vote for Clinton.

Just pack it in for now. Regroup your energy for PA.

[Zynx]

21. Dallas 71% in now, Harris 33% in.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

23. I will be SHOCKED if she hangs on in TX

Unfortunately for Obama, he will win the TX caucus, but the results will dribble in over time.

So Hillary would get the headline if she squeaks out the primary phase.

But I expect her to fall a little short.

[boston bean]

30. Kurt

you should jump back on the Hillary bus.

There's plenty of room for you. The whole thing is shifting. Don't miss the bus.

[JVS]

25. But check out El Paso.

[Scurrilous]

26. Kick

:thumbsup:

[Truth2Tell]

28. OK

It's over. No Obama popular vote TX victory.

But the race is still over. All that's left are the shameful final acts of a dying dynasty. Ugly business.
