How Texas’ fuzzy math, and Bush, help Obama


updated 6:17 p.m. ET, Sun., March. 2, 2008
AUSTIN, Texas - Barack Obama has a secret weapon in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Texas, pretty well-known in these parts: George W. Bush.

Not that the current president is trying to help the man who criticizes him at every turn.

But Bush's electoral appeal among home-state Hispanics four years ago, combined with his failure to generate significant black support, complicates Hillary Rodham Clinton's drive to put a significant dent in Obama's lead in the race for delegates.

Will the Obama supporters suddenly praise bu$h?

2. The Clintons ran for president twice in 1992 & 1996
The rules haven't changed since then & Bill used them to his advantage, especially in 1992. They knew the drill, yet sat on their butts & did nothing to GOTV in 2004 & 2006. But that's what happens when you think you are the inevitable candidate & don't have to plan for anything past February 5.

3. So if Obama wins Texas, it's not his fault. LOL.
Come up with every reason under the sun as an excuse as to why Hillary lost instead of realizing Obama is running a superb campaign and his ground game here is Texas KICKS ASS.
