Speaking to a crowd in Beaumont, Texas, Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton said "If she wins in Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her then I don't think she can. It's all on you."

And there you go, the typical Clinton MO...when she fails, it's OUR fault, not hers, not that she couldn't give me a reason to deserve my vote.
Sickening.

But that's also the first time we've heard a Clinton campaign person say that unless she wins Ohio and Texas it's over.
But was her response to him "You don't think I can win the nomination if I lose Ohio and Texas? I just won't mention those losses in my campaign speech that night in Pennsylvania and won't congratulate him for the victories. As long as there are delegates out there to be swayed the campaign will go on"

So you think Bill wasn't speaking the truth? He is absolutely correct. Hillary has to win both to stay in the game.

As usual ... more Clinton haters punishing their honesty. No wonder they're so crooked.

Obama wins the Democrats Abroad primary, though how the delegates will be apportioned makes my head hurt.

Obama looks relaxed for tonight's debate, hanging with Mack Brown's boys today...

CNN gives slightly different math for apportioning the delegates: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Democrats abroad have 22 delegates with half a vote each, giving them 11 delegate votes at the convention.
Of the 22 delegates, eight are superdelegates. Which means that 14 delegates (7 votes) are decided by the primary while 8 delegates (4 votes) are superdelegates.
Of the superdelegates 2 are for Clinton, 2 are for Obama and 4 are undecided.

I'll leave it someone else to figure out the math

Not punishing their honesty... just saying that although Bill recognizes the fact that Hillary's done if she doesn't win Texas AND Ohio, Hillary might not.

My head hurts. Seriously. And I managed to decode how they're going to have the election in Texas.

This is just odd. I have no idea what the net delegates will be.

I'm calling it Obama plus one and moving on...

Huckaboomer's wife stayed at the Hooter's Hotel and Casino a couple of weeks ago to watch Jermain Taylor fight.

Sin City? Gambling? Hooters girls? That won't endear her to the Evangelicals.

Jermain Taylor is a hometown boy, though. I don't think the evangelicals can argue with her supporting local talent.

The final shovel of dirt on Hillary... the WHY behind her needing a $5 million loan.
