3. I hope he legitimately does win Texas, and at least comes close

in PA...this needs to be over, and soon.

[dailykoff]

4. Thanks, that's encouraging!

Very nice graphic too! :thumbsup:

[99th_Monkey]

5. Does this mean Hillary will stop saying she "won" Texas? Let's hope so. ~nt~

[OzarkDem]

6. Not seeing that at your link

Got something else?

[PerfectSage]

8. I entered all those county totals by hand into a spreadsheet.

That's how I got the O/56 H/44.

[OzarkDem]

10. You might want to check them to be sure

Odd the Texas SOS web site isn't posting totals. It would help if they did. Then again, I guess it IS Texas...

The Burnt Orange Report is showing something different

[writes3000]

11. Your link says Obama 54%, Clinton 46%. n/t

[IDemo]

12. I'm seeing different numbers

Clinton - 46.21%, Obama - 53.79%

3:50pm Update by Phil - Harris County, Senate District 15 just reported. Huge for Obama -- of the 1,431 in attendance, 1,056 for Obama, and 375 for Clinton. With 217 delegates to split, that means Obama got 160 to 57 over Clinton in Harris County, SD 15.

[dkf]

24. Now at Obama 54.72% and Hillary 45.28%

I likey!!

From Burnt Orange:

4:00pm Update by Phillip - Galveston County just came in, where in terms of delegates to the state convention SD 11 went 57-37 for Obama and SD 17 went 9-8 for Obama.

[VolcanoJen]

19. Might wanna hit refresh.

OBama 55, Clinton 45 with 11.27% reporting.

[OzarkDem]

33. I'll go do the laundry

[VolcanoJen]

36. There's truth in Tide!

22. I'm not sure what we can do Ozark but I'd suggest a larger screen

All that squinting is making you imagine things

[Melinda]

9. Ack, you got that from my thread, and I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Old data, 3/4/08 results

Those results are not from today's caucasing. I truly am sorry.

[PerfectSage]

13. lol I wasted all that time?

[Melinda]

14. I feel so bad!

How about a :hug: ?

Have you been following the results coming in at Burnt Orange? You can develop a spreadsheet with their real time data... and it is current, I swear!! http://burntorangereport.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5484

[PerfectSage]

34. Yeah I'm following the burnt orange report now

:bounce:

[FrenchieCat]

15. Is this current....cause it seems like it.

Burnt Orange Report - Results from County Conventions

TIMESTAMP - 3:50PM, 3/29/07
with 10.56% reporting-


PERCENT
Clinton - 46.21%
Obama - 53.79%

[Melinda]

18. Yes, those results are from today...

:)

[thewiseguy]

16. You were actually on to something

Obama is at 54 now to Hillary's 46...

Results from populated counties are just starting to come in.

[loveangelc]

20. are they just now coming in, or are they almost all in?

[thewiseguy]

21. They have just started to report

Only 9% have came in. 1 senate district in Harris county has reported so far which accounts for the jump in numbers.

[loveangelc]

26. yaaaaay

[thewiseguy]

25. Here is a spreadsheet you can look at

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pCVgf3tYDGBevq1NB-GJHdw

It is updated as the results come in. I am not worried. Obama will be in a very good shape. Given how his strongholds are delegate rich!

[thewiseguy]

17. Your numbers are up to date!!!

Below the page it tells you when the numbers were last updated...

[Melinda]

23. Like I said earlier... too much booze & late nights make me stoopid.

:hangover: I initially though the link and results were from today, then I was told by 2 ppl that I was wrong, and so I self-deleted my thread. :dilemma:

At this point I don't know up from down, and so I defer to your wisdom as to the accuracy of this data. Apparently, according to others as well as yourself, the results and data are from today... anyway, sorry again for the confusion. Carry on.

Peace out.:hippie:

[PerfectSage]

38. Yeah I'm confused too. Hopefully those numbers are right.

Just did a senate district spreadsheet. Much faster to update.

Still O/56 H 44.

27. Collin County - Obama country - meets TOMORROW

I'm a Texan. Collin County, which went for Obama, will have it's county caucus TOMORROW because the Democratic party could not find an available venue for today that would accommodate the 3000 participants that are expected. It's a big county and will make a big difference for Obama. I'll be there so maybe, I can beam in the results. :)

Thanks for all of your work on this PerfectSage!

:toast:

[panader0]

29. Good for you powergirl!

[seabeyond]

28. if potter co doesnt even start until 6:00, how can they report now? why should i go?

i have been being nagged to go to the highschool at 6. i am not feeling well. i dont think i am a delegate, ... though they keep sending emails and calls saying i am delegate or alt. i didnt say aye to. why should i go to the high school tonight. what is it about. no one is telling me and i dont get it.

[powergirl]

32. Maybe I can help you

If you signed in on the "sign up" sheet on election day - during the precinct caucus, there is a column on the sign in sheet where the precinct chair is supposed to designate if you want to be a delegate or an alternate. Some people, when they sign in accidentally check off that blank.

If you are getting calls/postcards, you may be a delegate or an alternate. The campaign website for your candidate will probably know if you are a delegate b/c it is public information.

[seabeyond]

35. thank you powergirl. i probably did something like that. husband says

sounds like i am delegate or alt. guess i will call and ask

[Life Long Dem]

30. Thank you for the link. Beats listening to the opposing teams score card.

Let the games begin! Ahhhh...make that... let the election continue - gotta watch what you say around here. LOL!

[DrFunkenstein]

31. Clinton is NOT Having a Good Week!

From dodging bullets with the press to watching the delegate gap widen further, Clinton has seen better news cycles.

[futureliveshere]

39. Wohoooooooooooo!!!

:woohoo:

[thevoiceofreason]

40. State Senate 15 in Houston

I am guessing we will split our approximately 230 delegates 170 Obama, 60 Hillary

The vote was 74% Obama, 26% Hillary

[sueragingroz]

41. proof that the caucuses don't reflect the will of the people

they are anti-democratic and favour certain kinds of voters.

[powergirl]

42. Bill Clinton embraced those Texas caucuses

when he won them - twice. I guess it depends on who's winning?

[rainbow4321]

56. And with HRC claiming such strong 30+ yr ties to TX Dems

Wouldn't you think that she would have used her 8 years of influence in the WH to change the TX hybrid system that she (now) says is so unfair and horrible?? The hybrid system that a CLINTON supporter had hands in creating, BTW. Guess when the TX 2 Step paves your husband's way to the WH, you don't wanna fix what ain't broken....and she didn't deem it broken til SHE lost the TX caucus.

[Lisa0825]

43. SD 11 and 17 in Galveston Cty - Obama 60%, Clinton 40%

It was hard to hear over the crowd... I think that was the overall result, but it could possibly have been one of the 2 districts.

[Willo]

44. Someone please help me to understand these results.

For instance, The precinct site shows Baylor County having 13 delegates, 1 of 4 precincts have reported, Clinton awarded 3 delegates, Obama-0 and 100% in the delegate column.

My questions are 1) How can some precincts report and only one candidate get delegates? Is that saying a whole town voted one way?

2) How can Baylor report 25% of its precincts and 100% of its delegates?

Thanks in advance.

[NEDem]

45. I think that a candidate has to get a certain percentage

to be "viable", most common is 15%, if one of 2 candidates doesn't get 15%, the other gets 100%.

[Undercurrent]

46. CNN's TX caucus updates

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#TX

Now, I don't know about this because they have 2 different dates on their chart... :crazy:

[TBF]

53. Heh. It will take CNN years to figure it out. Fox won't even try.

[Willo]

47. Thank you very much, NEDem

[TBF]

52. Exactly right -

and some of these areas are low population so that's going to be even fewer delegates. I live in the suburbs of Houston (just south of Harris county in Brazoria) and our precinct had 41 delegates going to convention today - 31 for Obama and 10 for Hillary. They also can change their minds - they are not locked in. So anything can happen. That's why the earlier numbers were higher for Hillary - they reflected less populated state senate districts reporting in. Now that Harris (Houston) and Travis (Dallas) have reported the tide swung. As far as I know we're still waiting on Corpus and San Antonio - those could be higher for Clinton with the hispanic vote in those regions.

[LibertyorDeath]

48. Thanks

Rec!

49. unironic ?

is disarray not to be expected when the (Tarrant Co./Ft. Worth) convention

is held at the Will Rogers Memorial Center?

“I belong to no organized political party, I’m a Democrat”

50. Looks like we crashed Burnt Orange...

[4themind]

51. Crash and Burn baby -nt

[grantcart]

[Kukesa]
