WOOHOOO!!!!!!! I think she's going to win Texas. The exit poll demographics are in her favor and South Texas is notoriously slow to report. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

On a personal note, the caucus at my precinct split the delegates down the middle, 7-7. There were 102 people in attendance; all of Obama's supporters except 3 were black and they were wearing tags from a particular church, being led into the caucus hall by their preacher. VERY interesting. Hillary's supporters were white, Asian, and Hispanic. One of Obama's white supporters got really, really nasty with the caucus chairman and then myself when we told him he didn't need to fill in his voter number (he didn't have it with him). He kept accusing us of messing up the vote, that he was going to call a TV station, blah-blah-blah. I even got an election person on the phone for him to explain again what we had told him and he STILL ranted.

There was an Obama campaign organizer in the room and I told him to get a grip on his supporter, grrrrr. Afterward, the organizer came and apologised to me for the guy's boorish behavior and said it isn't a reflection of their candidate. Ha! So much for the unifying factor!

Yeah, I think as the votes from west TX start coming in it will be downhill for Obama.

Not many people live out there (except El Paso) and remember it is delegates and caucuses that count, not just the popular vote.

1% of Houston has been counted, 30% of Austin, and 35% of Dallas - all are going Obama's way.

Only 39% of the precincts have reported and they are still in dead heat. The results of the caucus votes have not been determined either. Even if she wins it will be such a small % that she'll still be behind Obama in the delegate count. She needs to end this. There is no way for her to catch up. All Clinton is doing is dividing the party.

And, oh yeah, with 100% of the votes counted in Loving County, Obama wins! 7 votes to 5. Take that Hillary Clinton!

If Texas stays the way it is, I have a feeling party elders will have a talk with her. We've got Wyo and Miss. in the next week, Obama should win both. The delegate math is all against her. She could go out on a high note by withdrawing.

there doesnt seem to be that many delegates seperating the two.maybe obama should step aside in the name of 'party unity'.....of course as a republican i hope they just keep fighting each other until the convention
