    Too bad the Penn Dems aren't enlightened enough to vote for a black guy.

    Demographics are impossible. Won't happen. I'll take 55/45, right now.

    The Texas Democratic caucus results (with about a third of Texas' delegates on the line) should be counted, official and announced March 29, but CNN is calling Obama as the winner with 38 of the 67 available delegates. That puts the final Texas count as follows: Obama 99, HRC 94.

    In the meantime, we soldier on to April 22.

    She won the primary ... after which the Texas Democrats hold a caucus that same night to parcel out the other third of their delegates.

    Can't wait to see how this gets spun.

    I know.
     
  10. Obama's camp has to start making, "We're not going to win in Pennsylvania, but..." types of speeches in the week leading up to the primary. Take the air out of Hillary's win. Make the expectation that she'll win huge and then spin the result when it's less than 10 points.

    Then, as someone said, have Obama give a post-Penn. speech that starts with, "Good news, after Pennsylvania we officially have more states, more votes and more delegates! We are the choice of a majority of Democratic voters for change!"

    This is patently ridiculous.

    Iowa, South Carolina, Delaware, Connecticut, Missouri, Utah, Louisiana, Virginia, DC, Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Vermont, Mississippi, Maine, Colorado, North Dakota, Idaho, Alaska, Minnesota, Nebraska, Washington, Wyoming and Texas were swell, but you have to win Pennsylvania, or else we win.

    How this works on anyone more than eight-years-old, I have no idea.
