Reply #25: Do not forget, it's a Texas 2'fer!

Essentially, 75% of the delegates (126 out of 168) awarded will be based on the primary ballots.

This has confused a lot of Texans I have spoken with (especially first-time voters).

15 minutes after the polls close, those who voted must return to their precinct. This "precinct convention" (caucus) will determine how the remaining 42 delegates will be allocated.

So, all Obama has to do is keep it close in terms of the primary votes cast. He can clean up in the later caucuses. This is how he will win it.
