1. Stop lying. He lost Texas (eom)

[Thepricebreaker]

2. he got more delegats.... thats ALL that matters in a primary.

[StevieM]

10. Nope. When we talk about wins and losses we are talking about momentum and state endorsements

that is a seperate issue from the delegate matter. Obama is a liar (and an unusually bad human being).

[Renew Deal]

12. Obama won Texas

There were two steps. He won won of them bigger than she won hers. That means he wins. You just have to live with it.

[Botany]

18. Shhh don't tell 'em that Obama has been picking up 1 - 3 super delegates ..

.... per day for the past 2 to 3 weeks.

Obama now has to win about 45% of the rest of the vote to
win the nomination. Hillary is now @ 65% must win for her
to even be tied.

[KAZ]

14. Sorry dumbass. TX in Obama's win column.

It's a "2-step" primary.

[Occam Bandage]

21. All the "momentum" in the world won't do shit to the math. Obama extended his lead.

[VolcanoJen]

24. "Obama is a liar and an unusually bad human being"

My, that's rich. I think I just gained 20 pounds reading that.

[Medusa]

28. Obama is a liar?

:rofl:

"When we talk about wins and loses we are talking about momentum and state endorsements."

Yeah, uhm, dude, I hate to break it to you here but your candidate has neither of your qualifiers at the moment, and oh yeah, SHE LOST TEXAS!

[StevieM]

30. Even the biased, pro-Obama news media had to admit she won Texas (eom)

[PseudoIntellect]

35. Uh...the media has been all for Hillary ever since March began.

It's blatantly obvious. Where have you been.

No one has won Texas, yet, if you want to be technical. But Obama will win TX once the caucus delegates are official in June.

[Kittycat]

3. He won more delegates, and that's what they're in a contest for.

[slick8790]

5. Uhh last time I checked Texas had 2 parts to it.

He lost the primary by 3 percent but is winning the caucus by 12%. He will get a net gain from there. That's a win.

[writes3000]

7. The OP's post is about primaries. n/t

[slick8790]

8. Oh, great.

A semantics argument. Is that what Hillary supporters are reduced to?

[VolcanoJen]

26. "Hillary is Ready on Day One to Support her Candidacy using Semantic Arguments"

Will that fit on a bumpersticker? :-)

[slick8790]

34. Only maybe on the bumpers of those stretch limos we latte liberal Obama supporters ride in.

So I guess it won't do her in any good.

[VolcanoJen]

46. I flew to my .8 miles to my Ohio polling place on the Space Shuttle...

... while sucking down a caramel half-caff non-fat (but not skinny) latte.

What are you gonna do about that? Huh? Bring it!

9. Clinton stumbled in Texas Two-Step while Obama waltzed ahead

I've been waiting to say that all week. :evilgrin:

CNN just released Obama won Texas caucus. Ergo, final delegate count for Texas: C = 94; O = 99

Obama wins.

[Occam Bandage]

19. Last I checked he walked away with more delegates. Delegates win races.

[writes3000]

4. Incorrect, OP. Clinton won the Texas primary. n/t

[slick8790]

6. And Obama won the caucus, and will win more delegates than her from Texas.

[sandnsea]

11. Hehe, he won every month so far

Jan, he won the delegates in IA, NV, and SC; tied NH

He won Feb, and now he's won March.

If he WEREN'T a black man, this race would be soooo over.

[VolcanoJen]

27. He's so lucky

I wish I weren't so unlucky! If I were a biracial kid born with a funny name and had my dad leave me and my mom at age two, I could be president!

;-)

[Botany]

33. Or you could live in Clarmont county and think Hillary is the devil ....

.... have more republicans and yet still turn out the vote Clinton.

I really wonder what the real vote in OH was ... some of the #s are
so big for Hillary I doubt they were just cross over voters.

But be of good cheer .... Obama is closer to 2025 tonight.

Besides he is picking up 1 to 3 super delegates per day

[VolcanoJen]

42. And after Geraldine jumped the Kitchen Sink Shark yesterday...

... I imagine those superdelegates might move even faster.

I'm of good cheer, irregardless of how cynical the dying throes of the DLC exhibits itself. It's fucking depressing.

You, of course, already know this. You're a Democrat, in Ohio.

:hug: My sweet friend, Botany! :hug:

[Dawgs]

13. I'm an Obama supporter and I disgree with this.

Hillary won the popular vote, which in my opinion is a win.

As Obama supporters we should argue that Obama has won 4 out of 7 contests. Hillary won the Texas primary, and Obama won the Texas caucas.

[sandnsea]

40. The rules are winning delegates

Those are the rules, that's how you win, by getting the required number of delegates He has won the most delegates every month so far.

[newfie4]

15. Barack Hussein lost Texas, get it through your skulls already

[Botany]

16. Begone Troll

Obama won more delegates = he won the state

He would have won the popular vote if not for the
cross over vote too. And Ohio would have been
much closer without the cross over too.

It is all about the #s and the person w/ the > #
is the winner.

[stop the bleeding]

39. Bye fuckhead.

[quantass]

17. True, Obama has now won TX, but OP change the Title to read: "March Contest Results..."

...or just "March Results..."
but understandably, i do notice people includng Media tend to use Primary interchanably to mean a state contest that is a primary or a caucus....

[Botany]

20. Done!

:rofl:

[quantass]

23. You da man!

:rofl:

[jackson_dem]

22. Only in the Obama echo chamber is losing by 100,000 votes a "win"

[TheDoorbellRang]

25. Only in the fantasy world does Texas: C = 94 delegates; O = 99 delegates

translate to a Clinton win.

[Botany]

31. Why do you hate women?

#s are sexist

[TheDoorbellRang]

36. I'm a self-hating woman cuz I unnerstan math

:cry: :rofl:


Whoa...just had a mood swing

[Botany]

37. I am very much xy myself

I have been called a sexist for sometime now ...
I supported Edwards .... now Obama.

I used to try to say that I love women and I worked
about 200 hours from Sept to November for a women
running for congress and gave her money .... some
Hillary supporter told me that I did that as "a cover."

[VolcanoJen]

44. Girlz aren't good at math

Math is sexist

;-)

[scheming daemons]

29. Team A... 5 runs, 8 hits.... Team B... 3 runs, 12 hits.... Which one won the baseball game?

In this game... DELEGATES = RUNS



They are competing for delegates... that is the ONLY prize that matters.

[Botany]

32. Now stop it!

No knowledge allowed.

[OzarkDem]

38. He didn't win the popular vote in TX

and that will not translate into a win in the GE.

[Botany]

41. Obama won get used to it.

The popular vote was corrupted too.

Most delegates = A win

[Johnny__Motown]

43. You should split Texas into Primary and Caucus and give one to each

nobody can argue that

[TheDoorbellRang]

45. Except Texans, mebbe.

They do seem to be taking exception to all the out-of-staters dissing their system. Cuz we all know our own state -- whichever one it is -- does it the PROPER way...or so I've been told. ;)

[crispini]

47. Lord, you know it.

You know, you get tarred and feathered with the "George W is from Texas" thing for so long, and then all of a sudden your state is about to make a difference and then absolutely EVERYONE on DU is nice to you because, well, you're from Texas, and then BOOM, it's over and it's back in the doghouse because your system is so "weird" and "caucuses don't count."

Whatever. I guess we're just used to it, and anyway, I'm still completely stoked about all those new Democrats that turned up. Obama will put this state into play in the fall, mark my words. We are so close!
