Hillary supporters in reference to Tuesday.
I was out of town this week and unable to communicate on du this week until now congratulations and give me a brief overview of what du was like Tuesday night. For me I was in Atlanta at a meeting but my wife worked the polls here in South Texas. First report I got was Obama flew in people to work the polls for him they stuck out like a sore thumb...I live in an area populated by 90% hispanics...the next report was we won all the caucuses in our county but it was a mess...other than that people in South Texas are thrilled we helped Hillary win Texas.

1. Hillary didn't win Texas.

Obama ended up with more delegates.

2. This is the Logical Formula
Hillary lead in the Primary portion
Obama led in the Caucus portion

Obama won more Delegates so he won the overall Prima-Caucus and thereby the State of Texas.

4. No, and he most likely can't get to 2,025
unless and until Hillary drops out of the race!

5. Hillary had great wins in Texas, Ohio, and R I - although the extra wieght given AA areas meant few
delegate gains and the caucus process as usual eliminated much of the working man vote, leaving the Starbucks crowd to award delegates to Obama.

The question is do we want to win - and if so - do we think we can win without the working man - can we win with just with Starbucks, AA's and a few college kids.

No one will get enough delegates without supers - so it will be a decision by the supers.

However - if Obama takes PA he gets the nomination as he will have shown he can get the non-AA working class to vote for him. If he loses PA he will have to scream racism - which I expect him to do, claiming the first viable female should be tossed in favor of the first viable half black.

6. Hillary lost Texas. I know she wants you to think she won, but she didn't.
