1. It's definitely not because she's playing race politics again..

2. Hmmm..

I'm surprised Obama only had 2,500 in San Antonio. What are the demographics like there? Is that an area Hillary is expected to win? Are there a lot of delegates there?

3. San Antonio is over 50% Latino with heavy military presence, 2 AF bases, 1 Army base

The area south of a line from El Paso to San Antonio to Corpus Christi would be Hillary's strongest area in Texas.
However, Obama is making major inroads in the Latino support with the younger generation.

Hillary's best area will be around El Paso and the border areas. However, even El Paso will be a run due to major number of young Latinos and the presence of Fort Bliss. The military has no love for Hillary.


Texas is going for Obama.
