2. They probably will. I've noticed several counties that went for Clinton in the primary...

...going for Barack in the caucus. But he's holding all of his counties. And he's going to come out ahead in the delegates for the primary too!

3. After Ohio, Hillary clinches Texas primary

AUSTIN, Texas: Democrat Hillary Clinton scored a huge boost in her White House campaign on Tuesday, winning the popular vote in the Texas primary after taking Ohio and Rhode Island, US media said.

With 76 per cent of the precincts reporting, Clinton had taken 51 per cent of the vote to 47 per cent for her bitter rival Barack Obama, CNN, MSNBC and CBS said.


Translated for Obama supporters:

Hillary is the Devil;

Hillary is Evil;

If Hillary wins -- the planet will collapse.

7. Yes however it doesn't matter now

No one can win 2,025 and become nominee by law;
No caucuses in GE and she won all the crucial states;

9. you mean when living, breathing democrats have to vote

10. Caucus FTL

YAY! \o/! A process that by design disenfranchises voters. Yay!

What in washington state he got 67% of the caucus and 51% of the vote in the primary.



Definitely a great argument to win the nomination. I WON THE VOTES WHEN MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE!!

Can't wait to hear more about your caucus experience!

12. Looks like Obama will clean up in the caucus.

Look at all of those gray counties going green.

It's an odd thing. I can't explain why Hillary's supporters weren't willing to vote for her twice. Did they just not show up? Or did they get there and reconsider?

13. working

It's called working for a living. It's hard to get to the caucus during your shift.

[Barack_America]

14. Not sure that flies, considering...

1. You have to participate in the primary to caucus
2. Exit polling (from the primary) shows that one of the largest voting groups was over 65. And Obama's supporters are primarily from 18-40 some-odd, PRIME working folks.

15. obama gets the upper middle class
