By my calculations, the Texas Secretary of State has Hillary Clinton winning three two delegates in the primary portion of the Texas contest. Obama is winning the caucus portion of the Texas contest (with only 5% reporting) by a 56%-44% margin. These numbers are incomplete and I think it is likely that Obama may win an extra delegate in the 25th Senate District. I see CNN has called Texas for Clinton, but there is no doubt that she will not wind up with more delegates from Texas than Obama.
Nevertheless, she seems to have rolled up big wins in a bunch of Latino districts, getting 3-1 splits that most people did not predict. This enabled her to wipe out Obama’s huge delegate lead in the cities. Clinton definitely outperformed expectations in the delegate game in Texas, but she is still going to lose.
Overall, she is going to get about 6-10 delegates out of Ohio, and she may get one delegate (or none) out of New England. I actually think there is a good chance that they will split the delegates from tonight 50-50. She needed to win 57% of the delegates tonight just to tread water. Now her task is just that much harder.
The media, however, is not listening to that. They do not care one iota about the delegate counts and they are pushing this race through Puerto Rico and beyond.
That’s too bad, because it will only encourage Clinton to push on in an utterly hopeless and ultimately destructive and humiliating quest.
