Texas primary vs caucus?

[BobMorr]

Clinton won the primary in Texas, yet Obama won the caucus. Can somebody explain how the deligate totals for Texas works this way?:shrug:

1. Did Obama actually win the caucus? I see O 52 vs. C 48, with 36% reporting. n/t

[BobMorr]

3. you're right

Only 36% reporting. If it does go for Obama in the caucus, what happens with the delegates?

12. They are divided proportionally

And, I think, not yet fully allocated. The Texas delegate conventions are progressive and go on through June 6-7

2. I think the primary contains 65% of total delegates and caucus is the rest. I'm not sure if caucus

is winner take all. Anyone?

4. Not winner take all

But at this point it doesn't matter.

Hillary did not make the gains necessary to win the nomination. Obama is on a coasting trajectory to 2025.

8. Obama's not gonna get 2025 pledged delegates either

[Gore1FL]

10. Probably not. Super delegates make up 795 of the 4047 total delegates

But he will get a total of 2025 delegates with pledged and super delegates easily even if Hillary somehow manages to get a double digit lead of super delegates.

13. What Hillary did last night was

get the 2 big State wins as reason to stay in the race. The SPIN she and the media are putting on it is: HILLARY WON BIG. HILLARY HAS THE BIG MO.

If Obama were to win a couple of quick victories in Wyoming and Mississippi, then the euphoria dies down.

What happened last night was a convention in Denver with no nominee going in, a divided Democratic Party, and a John McCain Presidency. Everything the Rethugs could have hoped for.

6. The caucus delegates are split proportionally

...to the number of attendees that sign in for each candidate.

5. Obama hasnt won the caucus. He still may but lets wait and see

If he wins the caucus, he will probably end up with more delegates in Texas.
