Feb 5. was Hillary's best shot: the majority of the primaries/caucuses from here on out favor Obama

[Unsane]

They're places with lower hispanic populations that are not in the northeast. Maryland, VA, DC, NE, WA, OR, OH, PA etc. TX has a higher hispanic population, but Obama's got a lot of time and money to spend there. It's also a more indy kind of state with an anti-Clinton trend.

Tonight was Hillary's best shot.

[tabasco]

1. That's right.

Obama is doing what he needs to do tonight.

[Unsane]

20. Shuster: the Obama camp is elated. They just wanted a draw.

The ST states favored her demographically.

[ginnyinWI]

2. And Obama did pretty well tonight too

He won 12 states as of now...I know, it's the delegates. But he hasn't gotten lower than 33% in any states except OK and AK. That means delegates.

[Unsane]

3. He will have won 13 states and may even lead delegates.

[MH1]

28. CNN has Obama in the lead with pledged delegates

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#D

Clinton leads superdelegates 193 to 106; but isn't it true that Obama's been closing that gap, too?

4. Obama is still gathering momentum

[Unsane]

14. yup

[AX10]

5. Caucus's are crap.

They are attending mostly by party elites. When it comes to REAL elections, Hillary is the winner.
I also saw Obama's combativeness in his speech tonight. Not very "hopeful".
Don't give me the Obama won more states nonsense. He won small states. Hillary dominated the large ones.

Sadly, DU, Dailykos, TPM, Huffingtonpost, Randi Rhodes, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, and Keith Olberman are crying right now trying to put a positive spin on what is a good result for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

:kick:
:party:

7. Obama won more delegates... the only count that matters...

...the ONLY count that matters.

[stevietheman]

15. Too bad Super Tuesday wasn't a week or two ago...

as then Hillary would have the nomination sewn up.

WHOOPS!

[Unsane]

16. so true

[grantcart]

[Unsane]

9. thanks

[papau]

8. Maryland, VA, DC, NE, WA, OR, OH, PA ? - perhaps - the 90% black vote in Del won the state and DC/MD

will therefor go his way.

WA and VA are perhaps also likely


PA, Ohio, Texas maybe not so much

NE, OR are mystery states - I recall no polls!

[Arugula Latte]

10. Yeah, we don't count here in Oregon ...

A May primary? WTF?

[Unsane]

11. lol damn

[stillrockin]

12. This VA Dem votes Obama!

[Unsane]

13. Gobama

[earthlover]

19. This VA Democrat also votes Obama....because of hillary posters here

[Stop Cornyn]

17. Actually, Hillary does well in among Democrats in Texas (but theTexas Repubs HATE her with the white

hot passion of a thousand candles.

[Unsane]

18. Is it an open primary?

All I mean is that TX isn't analogous to CA.

[Stop Cornyn]

22. Yes, it's open. And there aren't many interesting statewide Repub primary contests so we may see

some crossovers.

[Unsane]

24. Interesting, wow.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. I think it will be very cloe in Texas

[JCMach1]

21. Two words... Texas and Ohio

[Texas_Kat]

23. Texas and Ohio favor CLinton

Pennsylvania as well, though I haven't looked up their primary date.

[TexasObserver]

26. Texas is looking good for Obama

Hillary would win if the election were last year, but this isn't last year.
