HuskyCaucasian Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Texas Exit Polls (CNN): Men (43%): Obama - 52%; Clinton - 46% Women (57%): Obama - 46%; Clinton - 53% So, according to my math, the TOTAL exit polls are as follows: Obama - 48.58% Clinton - 49.99% THAT is a tight race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 So, the OH numbers are roughly 58-40 for Clinton. But, it seems that the big metros, which are likely strongholds for Obama - Cleveland, Cincinnatti, Columbus, Youngstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Whoa - Clinton just made a big jump in TX. Looks like maybe some of the border counties are reporting. She's now only down about 45k votes. On a seperate note... John McCain isn't so great at speeches. He's got the teleprompter stare going on.

kapkomet Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Clinton's going to take Texas AND Ohio. It's the SNL effect. I'm not kidding either, and neither is the MSM. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080304/ap_en_tv/obama_media Notice this has hit the AP now. Hillary is making a big comeback, folks, just like New Hampshire, just like when she was the "underdog" before. She's not out of this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right, but from what little I've heard, turnout was big and it was big for Hillary. Now, I have no idea on the caucus side of things... that might help Obama.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 McCain just made a pretty strident promise about alternative energy efforts. He's talking about global leadership in the effort. We'll see, but, I am glad both parties are talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I have no idea on the caucus side of things... that might help Obama. Well, here is something to think about. Even of Clinton has an edge in primary voters today, there are two other major factors that go to Obama - the caucus (look at the noise from Clintoncamp, they are fearful), and the 100k early voting edge Obama got. She'd have to win today's primary vote pretty big to overcome those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and I'd bet about half of that Hillary crowd were the White nationalists she targeted with those Obama is a muslim attacks. It sickens me. Hillary is counting on racism to win this thing.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 By the way there isn't a doubt in my mind that Hillary is only doing all this because she has a deal to give John McCain the presidency and she knows that her being the nominee is the only way that becomes a certainty.

Ok know I know you're smoking dope or something, because the Clintons don't negotiate ANYTHING with ANYONE that doesn't benefit them. Dismissed.

DBAHO Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Looking at Texas, it seemed that the major cities were Pro Obama, but Bilary is winning the majority of the country / border states. The gap is down to about 30,000. I actually think Clinton might win Texas now, although it is still too close to call, and way early to do so. EDIT: And then I saw Kip's post, and I hope he's right. It's going to be tight either way I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The talk was the "Hillary push" today. FWIW. Hopefully Obama caucuses well and had enough early votes to hang on. I think that's why he jumped out to such a big early lead - that was the early vote count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Dallas County - only 4% reporting (heavy for Obama). Harris County - barely 1% reporting (heavy for Obama). Travis County - barely 1% reporting (heavy for Obama). Bexar County - 3% reporting (slight edge for Clinton). Those are the 4 biggest counties in TX by population. And they are not what is making up the current vote total. Those are mostly big counties for Obama. And yet, even with these smaller counties reporting, Obama still leads.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Next two largest: Denton: 1% reporting, heavy Obama lead Tarrant: 15% reporting, heavy Obama lead Basically, Obama's strong areas are still pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well on the one hand, if Clinton wins OH and TX, she gets momentum and stays alive, and maybe even has a shot at the nomination still. On the other hand... if Obama wins TX, gains further in delegates, AND gets this supposed 50-superdelegate pile up in the days after... I think its really over for Clinton. Big week for the Dems.
