Most of these CNN commentators are doing OK with staying fairly objective, but... who is this shmo who is so painfully obviously a Clinton fan?

 

You talking about that Balaga guy?

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

Rhode Island called for Clinton, breaking her losing streak.

Great run for Huckabee with the little amount of resources he had.

Yea, he did pretty good. Kind of looked bad staying in so long, but he just gave a great exit speech.

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.

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.

 

Clinton's going to take Texas AND Ohio. It's the SNL effect. I'm not kidding either, and neither is the MSM.

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.

I don't think so. Obama will win TX, I think. Clinton will probably win OH, though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Obama should win Texas. Harris County (Houston) is still at 0% reporting, Dallas is at 4%, and Travis County (Austin) is at 0%.

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. :sweep:

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.

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.

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.

 

  • Author

Next two largest:

 

Denton: 1% reporting, heavy Obama lead

 

Tarrant: 15% reporting, heavy Obama lead

 

Basically, Obama's strong areas are still pending.

Hey BTW... I hope you voted today!

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.
