1. She needs 62.5% in the Rio Grande Valley to avoid a delegate split

Obama really needs to work on getting out the vote among the small numbers of non-Hispanic voters in that area- I've heard that's one of his highest priorities.

2. YEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAA!! Way to go DFW, as well as Austin and Houston!

San Antonio is a VERY NICE SURPRISE indeed since it is way over 50% Latino. Maybe the military folk there are helping out! (2 major AF bases, 1 major Army base, lots of smaller installations surround SA)

Come on El Paso and the Valley............Join us for the ride!!
