Clinton has made no inroads in Obama's Illinois support but he has
made inroads into her NY and NJ support. He's behind by 11 to 15. She's behind in Illinois by by 36. I think that says quite a bit.

1. A candidate has to carry their own state, they know them best

and Illinois adores Obama

Also, the donation map shows a large amount of support from New York for Obama

4. Actually, yes.
It'd be hard to have posted reply #2 without internet access of one sort or another.

5. I'm not sure how they're apportioned
or even how many delegates TX has- though I know it's a lot. But I think, if things go well for him on Tuesday, he can take TX with no trouble.

6. It would probably depend on who won in each congressional district
That's the way it works in my state. Most of the delegates are assigned based on the proportion of votes each candidate won in the CD. A few others are chosen in other ways.

Glad to help with a nonsnarky response. :hi:
