As of 1:20 am, the delegate count from the Texas primary is 63 Hillary, 62 Obama with Obama likely

[Yanez Houston Jordan]

to more than make up that 1 delegate deficit by winning the caucus.

Obama will likely come out of Texas having most of the Texas delegates.

[babylonsister]

2. Thank you and hot stuff! And I voted for Yanez today! nt

[Yanez Houston Jordan]

15. I'm so glad you voted for Yanez. That race was a real nail biter!

[VolcanoJen]

3. Fool! Math doesn't count!!!

}(

Apologize! APOLOGIZE for your slanderous math!

[ORDagnabbit]

4. any updates from ohio?

[VolcanoJen]

8. Obama crushed in the cities. Landslides.

Since I live in Cincinnati and we went 61-38 for Obama, I really have no earthly idea who voted for Hillary.

The VolcanoJen Ohio Update: I live in a weird, whacky state. But we did our part tonight. The rest, I have no control over.

[meow mix]

9. and thats what the supers are looking at too

were going all the way for the win

[casus belli]

12. Diebold?

I kid. :P

[Window]

16. Thank you for your hard work Jen.

Peace:thumbsup:

[VolcanoJen]

22. I gave it my heart. I gave it my soul. I gave it my shoe leather.

And my county went for Obama in a landslide. I don't know what else I could've done in the rest of Ohio, but damn, I wish I'd have figured it out.

Because as dog-tired as I am, I'd have given more.

[Window]

24. You did great! I don't think you could have given any more.

Again, thank you on behalf of all Obama supporters.




Peace:thumbsup:

VOTING SUCKED 4 ME TODAY IN OHIO
I voted by paper ballot here in Cols, 43205. The "ballot" box was handmade with a slit put in to a bottom of a regular type cardboard box.

It had NO SEAL on it what so ever.

I asked about it and the lead worker told me, "Well we were in a rush". He ended up putting a twisty tie like thing on the box and said "ok its sealed". Outrageous. I called the Sec St, and Franklin County B of E and reported it. They took my name and contact info and was told by both entities that they would call me back.

Guess what neither did.

The employees were clueless, untrained, except for one guy who had to help the rest out with every single step. There was no privacy for the people using the machines, the room, in the Columbus "Douglas" school was cramped, loud and just a mess.

I for one am pissed off!

20. Toledo went for Clinton as did most minor cities and rural areas.

Obama won Columbus by about 10 and Cleveland by only 5 so far. The only place Obama did really well was in Cincinnati.

[VolcanoJen]

26. Obama won Dayton by 11 points.

Dayton is not a minor city in Ohio. And he's winning Columbus by 13 points with 91% of the vote reporting. He's up by 5 in Cleveland, but for a myriad of reasons, only 44% of Cuyahoga is reporting.

The only place Obama did well was in Cincinnati? How do you define "well"? Suddenly, cities don't count, either?

If you really want to go toe-to-toe on intricate Ohio precinct knowledge with me, let's tackle that in PM. I'm confident I can hold my own.

[jsamuel]

31. No need to hold your experience in Ohio electoral math over my head.

I said "really well". And that is still true. Sure he won those cities, but only Cincinnati came in overwhelmingly for him. That is all I said.

[Voice for Peace]

32. Your enthusiasm hard work and updates have been a great contribution here.

I am still extremely hopeful that the good will prevail.

[VolcanoJen]

33. Thank you, Voice for Peace.

I really did love every minute of it. We did all we could in Cincinnati and got results. I wish our team down here could've been everywhere.

:hug:

[XemaSab]

6. When I'm Queen people like that will be teh FIRST against the wall

:P

[Diane R]

5. So they both won two states. Sounds like a draw to me (just like SuperTuesday ).

[meow mix]

7. nice

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Royal Oak Rog]

10. What's her net gain on the evening?

I know it can't be more than 15 or so, anyone got an idea?

[jgraz]

21. RI and VT are a wash, and Obama is still gaining in OH.

Hillary will likely net close to zero delegates on the night.

[nomorewhopper]

23. MY SPECULATION: Obama +179 delegates, Clinton +189 delegates

fun to speculate and I really have no clue, so I'll just try to proportionally assign the delegates based on the current count in the states per the NYTimes.com front page.

from tonight's action, I'd estimate:

Obama picks up 179 delegates
Clinton picks up 189 delegates


1) Texas - 193 delegates
a) Primary (65% of state delegates are assigned via the primary)
HRC - 63
BO - 62

edited to add that i got these numbers from the actual TX secretary of state website

b) Caucus (35% of the state delegates are assigned via the caucus)
assuming the BO55-HRC45 split
HRC - 30
BO - 38

2) Ohio - 141 delegates
assuming the BO43-HRC55 split
HRC - 78
BO - 61

3) Rhode Island - 21 delegates
assuming the BO40-HRC58 split
HRC - 12
BO - 9

4) Vermont - 15 delegates
assuming the BO60-HRC38 split
HRC - 6
BO - 9

29. which is awesome.... 379 more out of contention...

Time is ticking...

[casus belli]

11. They aren't listening.

Let them have their moment.

[meow mix]

13. the media should have fun explaining this one..

:toast:

[Yanez Houston Jordan]

14. With just over a third of the Texas caucus reporting, Obama leads 55% to 45%.

Source for caucus updates: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#TX

Roughly two-thirds of the Texas delegates are awarded through the primary, and about a third are awarded through the caucus.

[okasha]

17. Those "caucus" delegates won't be awarded

until May. The convention part of the Texas systems is made up of several ascending tiers, of which only the first phase occurred tonight.

[Yanez Houston Jordan]

25. You know the "caucus" delegates weren't awarded in Iowa, either, yet that didn't stop anyone from

being able to count the Texas convention delegates assigned to each candidate and assess how many primary delegates correspond to that same number of Texas convention delegates.

By the morning news shows, it will already be apparent who won more Texas delegates. Hillary will win the Texas primary -- which warrants congratulations -- but I presume that her goal was to win the most Texas delegates, and it looks as if she will lose the Texas caucus and, as a result, she will fail to achieve her ultimate goal of winning more delegates than Obama in Texas.

[David__77]

27. Lol! So a "caucus" is only a caucus if Clinton wins?

So funny with the quotes and all...

[babylonsister]

18. And it's also a done deal, Clinton won. How does THAT work? nt

[DLnyc]

28. 4 hours later, STILL just over a third reporting there.

I guess some results are reported more urgently than others?

[Scurrilous]
