1. Is there a projection when we'll get the final results?

I did hear there is one caucus which had to be moved to tomorrow --

4. I doubt it. Sounds like Chaos.

I'm doing a spreadsheet and comparing the % to the halted caucus count on election day and Obama is slightly ahead of where he ought to be.

My calculation is that he should have gotten 1269 delegates from the reported districts but instead he has 1284. If there was no caucus count on election day, then I didn't use it at all. But it is awfully close to what was expected.

5. Thanks.

I wish this could be easier on all of us -- voters AND eager observers! :hi:

2. Tarrant (Ft Worth), a big Obama county, is a mess

3. Yup, democracy can be messy especially with thousands of participants. Relax folks. It'll sort out.

6. TIMESTAMP - 8:01PM, 3/29/07

Clinton - 41.59% (1,160 delegates), Obama - 58.41% (1,629 delegates)

He is expanding his lead..

8. Nothing yet from Bexar, Tarrant, or much of Dallas and Harris counties.

I gotta believe those hold Obama strongholds.

10. I think Bexar went for Hillary--that's San Antonio.

Edit: I meant in the first go-round.

9. Anyone know what district 2 is? Oops I got it! Its Dallas 2

11. QUESTION: Could today's TX totals equal a bigger victory...

...percentage for Obama than he got when TX first caucused?

If yes, how much better?
