Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton threw up a roadblock on Sen. Barack Obama’s path to the Democratic presidential nomination by winning the giant Ohio and Texas primaries, NBC News projected Wednesday morning.

“For everyone here in Ohio and across America who’s been counted out and refused to be knocked out, and for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you,” Clinton said at a raucous rally in Columbus on a night when she took both of the two major prizes on offer.

Clinton, D-N.Y., and Obama, D-Ill., split the smaller Rhode Island and Vermont primaries, according to NBC News .

1. They should have projected her winner of the PRIMARY ONLY. There is only 15% of the caucus result in

and Obama is ahead by a fair margin.

Hillary will win the Texas primary, Obama will PROBABLY win the Texas caucus, and the delegate count will be close to a wash, with a chance that Obama will finish ahead in the Texas delegate count.

To say "Hillary wins Texas" as many media are saying is premature at best and wrong at worst.

P.S. I'm an Edwards supporter who likes both Hillary and Obama, but caucused for Obama. I'm just making a point about hos the Texas system works (a point apparently lost on many in the media), and not trying to pee on anyone's Wheaties.
