Terry McAuliffe (Clinton campaign): We're gonna win both Texas and Ohio

[no name 1]

53% in for TX:

50% HC

48% OB

Doesn't look like Hillary's gonna make much of a dent in Obama's delegate lead, though.

Should be clearer in the morning.

Ah, but it's about momentum & must wins, isn't it?

And proving Steven wrong, of course.

Draw? If she doesn't make much of a dent in his lead, he wins. Her glide path becomes even shorter.

But she might yet make a dent. A few more hours and we'll know.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

I concede. Obama has lost the nomination.

I agree with Gary, even if Obama gets nominated, it won't be without a mudfest at the Conventioin and McCain will be our next President.

The Clinton/Bush dynasties have prevailed.

Texas isn't even over! Why are you conceding?

Going negative has worked and will continue to work. All they have to do is keep inferring that Obama is Muslim and it'll put fear in enough voters to vote for Hillary.

Yes, it's a draw so far. If Obama can win in TX, it will be great for him. Pennsylvania Gov. said today on MSNBC that Hillary needs to win both OH and TX to stay in the race. TX race is a very close at this time.

I'm trying to be realistic. Hillary will spin tonight as an indication that she has the momentum, even though Obama came from behind.

If Hillary fights for the nomination all the way to the Convention, McCain will be our next President.

Mark Penn, Feb 13 2008:

Again and again, this race has shown that it is voters and delegates who matter, not the pundits or perceived "momentum."

Delegates from Texas are split like this:

126 tied to March 4 primary, 67 tied to March 4 caucuses.

Which is unique compared to most states.

Its likely that the 126 will be split roughly evenly, about 63 to each candidate. However, the other 67 are likely to favor Obama, as he tends to do much better in caucuses than Hillary does.

So with the way Texas selects its delegates, Hillary may win the popular vote by a sliver, but end up with less delegates.

I think there will be no overall gain or loss tonight. Hillary will keep trying to push on, but the simple fact is, she doesn't have the margins she needs tonight to show that she has the momentum. Her only real success since super Tuesday has been Ohio.

openleft.com at this moment is giving hillary a net gain of 4 delegates so far.

Four.
