MSNBC & CNN Making Huge Mistake...Obama will win Texas
If you look at the counties still counting, all of them for Obama, he can gain at least 80,000-90,000 on clinton before the night is over.

She currently leads by roughly 80,000. This isn't over, not by a long shot. Let us not forget about Missouri. And if she squeaks out a victory by the narrowest margins, well hey... hey still came back from being down 20%+.

More importantly, he will walk away with more delegates, as he has won in all the large areas.

Like you Hillary supporters always say... states don't matter. Congrats anyway. Sleep tight. Tomorrow the campaign really starts.

Oh, here's the link. Have fun with it. GoBama!!!!!

1. Not true, they still need to count half of El Paso, half of San Antonio
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 01:13 AM by jsamuel
half of Hidalgo and half of Cameron. Clinton is winning big in all four.

7. It's possible, the networks screwed up Missouri earlier this year
Nobody really reported on their mistake, but I know that MSNBC at least called Missouri for Clinton and that turned out to be incorrect.

13. I beg to differ
I watched MSNBC all night, and I'm in MO. At no time did they call it for Clinton! I was impressed that they knew St. Louis/Kansas City/Columbia votes come in last and are radically different from the rest of the state.

8. Harris with 14% reporting: Obama up by 46k votes; with 73%, up by 50k votes. Where can he catch up?
Do you know which counties he can make up the approx 85k vote difference? Not flaming, just asking.
Dallas is 72% in, and Travis almost 90%. El Paso only 54% and going 70/30 Hillary.

9. Current numbers....
Hillary Clinton 65 602,436 47.76% 1,183,525 51.10%
Barack Obama 61 637,573 50.55% 1,088,583 47.00%

69.74% reporting. Extrapolating the math that leaves approximately 993,000 votes available (x * .70 = 2,315,953, x = 3,308,504). Senator Obama would need a 60/40 split to make up the 95,000 vote deficit. Darn that pesky math.

10. Yes, it does look bad.
Still if this goes on all the way to the convention, I will get to relive some of the old tense convention moments of my youth! LBJ? JFK? HHH? Adlai? It was memorable.

11. The popular vote will tighten, but he won't "win". He will, however, come away with more delegates.
He is winning the cities handily.

12. Alright... I concede it... DAMMIT! Oh Well.
He'll still end up with more delegates out of TX when it is all said and done... which means... A COMPLETE FREAKING WASH!

Oh I just love politics.

Congrats Hillary... I will go eat my humble pie and go to sleep.

However... As I said, the real campaign starts tomorrow.

It's on like donkey kong!:evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin:
