Obama win appears big in Texas delegate battle

Obama has won the delegate battle in the Texas "3-step" process. Obama won 59 percent of the state's delgates to Hillary's 41%. This means in Texas Obama has 1,858 delegates to Hillary's 1,270 delegates. Obama had actually picked up more delagates in Texas last saturday in what is being called the "Texas 3 step". Apparently a third step has been added.

Significant in my opinion for 2 reasons: 1) it happened after all the Wright preacher stuff and 2)the cacuses were where the *real* hardcore Democrats voted...not the Limboheads who voted for Clinton because they thought she was the only one McCain could beat.

Heh and to think, just a few weeks ago, some here were proclaiming that the Wright affair was a career killing scandal. Guess the joke's on them!

Amen to that Spudcommando.... He braved the Rev. Wright storm rather well which proves he is an outstanding leader.

That which does not destroy you, only makes you stronger. Obama handled this crisis very well.
