I thought red state victories didn't count. So why are Hillary supporters so excited about Texas?
We've been told time and time again that Obama's victories in Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, South Carolina and all that are meaningless because we have no chance of carrying those states in the general election (and thus the Democrats that live there as a minority's opinions must be completely discounted for whatever reason.) So then why hype up Texas so much? It's the mother of all red states. I doubt if Hillary wins Texas the talk from her camp will be "oh well, not a real victory, it's just a red state after all." No, I don't see that at all. So is it that the only red states that matter are the ones Hillary does then? Hmmmm....

1. Don't worry. After she loses Texas, they'll be back to saying it doesn't matter.
Obama has a good chance to win Texas in the general election.

Hillary could not win Texas in November if the Republicans ran Duncan Hunter.

8. Huckabee would beat Hillary in Texas, because of evangelics.
Thank God they don't like McCain.

10. She's down about 5 points now, and that will increase.
She's going to lose Texas by 5-15 points, and 15 or more delegates.

9. If you want to believe that, you're free to do so. I don't believe she's ahead at all.
As I have indicated before.

6. Clinton is going for the BIG red states now. I think/hope she
finds some dissent, and she will.

11. 'Cause it's BIG. 'Cause it's one of her "firewalls."
