Barack adds 20 delegates (to her 13) and wins popular vote by 94,000

[thevoiceofreason]

The popular vote margin effctively negates Hillary's Texas margin (shy about 7000).

Congrats to Hillary for carrying the Red redneck District 1 by a couple of thousand votes, otherwise, the margin would have been 9 delegates.

1. Gross. Rednecks don't vote for women.

[thevoiceofreason]

3. But in Tupelo they vote against barack.

[Moh96]

5. she got 3:1 rethugs votes today so yes I think they do when they want dem to lose

[PseudoIntellect]

7. Hillary got 51% of the Texas votes. I don't know what you're talking about.

Apparently, "rednecks" don't count and are also gross unless they vote for Hillary.

[jlake]

8. What's gross is calling good folks Rednecks.... TX is a highly sophisticated

state with very few rednecks in it...... some of the best folks come from Texas.
Molly Ivins rings a bell.

10. I'm in Texas, and I'm a Nascar democrat - and a proud redneck

Just refers to someone who works for a living.

I grew up in South Louisiana - when I was there I was called a coon ass. No offense meant, none taken.

[jlake]

11. My family in Dallas would be appalled... simply appalled.

I can't believe that they let people such as that into that fine state.

[thevoiceofreason]

14. Dallas is pretty blue blooded.

No good barbeque joints to speak of. Fort Worth has some.

[rocktivity]

12. Obama won the majority of the delegates in Texas.

Which is what you're supposed to win in primaries and caucuses, not the majority of the popular vote.

13. Classy but I thought they were latte sipping, volvo driving elites?

:shrug:

[Occam Bandage]

19. When the option is a black guy, it seems they do.

[jlake]

20. Yep. The only thing stronger than racism is misogyny.

[thevoiceofreason]

21. They both suck.

[quantass]

24. You know you're a redneck when....

:shrug: ...dont have anything to say... Jeff Foxworthy always opens like that and cant figure out why people laughed.

[thevoiceofreason]

26. . . . . So I guess I am.

[anonymous171]

2. Don't belittle rural "redneck" voters like Hillary does.

Otherwise, GOBAMA!!

[thevoiceofreason]

4. Mainly referring to Tishomingo County that went 90-10 Hillary.

[Zynx]

6. Don't categorize the rural redneck vote as being monolithic. In OH they staunchly

voted for Hillary.

[thevoiceofreason]

9. Hey, I'm an urban redneck -- if that is a category!?!

[panader0]

15. I'm a long-haired country boy, there's a lot of us. For Obama!

[thevoiceofreason]

18. GOBAMA!!!

[JanusAscending]

16. My folks were from the hills of N.Y. State.

Good Mountain people!! When I married my late husband in 1964,(Afro-American) he used to call me a "redneck" just because my parents referred to me by my first and middle name, as was my Mom, Pearl May. He used to get a big kick out of it, and I didn't mind at all. I'd say, yepper, we's mountain folks !!! by the way , my middle name is June, and my signature line was my Dads nickname for me.:hi:

[thevoiceofreason]

17. Great story

My nickname was "Knothead"

And amend my OP -- the margin of vistory in Miss. has grown to 97,000.

[JanusAscending]

25. GO BAMA !!!

you go too "knothead" Ain't it GREAT????:toast:

22. realclear politics says Obama adds 17 to Clinton's 14 with 2 left to be decided

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html

[thevoiceofreason]

23. I just did the math -- a couple were close, but they broke each way

Dist. 1 -- Very Close, but Clinton takes it 3-2
Dist. 2 -- Obama 5-2, almost 6-1 (about 2% short -- he got over 76%, needed over 78%
Dist. 3 -- Obama 3-2 easy
Dist. 4 -- Obama 3-2 very close -- Obama took this district by less than 1000 votes with 100% in in the district.

Overall, they'll split 11 votes. It goes 6-5 as soon as one gets over 50%. About every 9.1%, another delegate breaks over. Barack got 61%, so he gets 7 and Hillary gets 4.

20 Obama
13 Clinton

On edit: Now real clear shows 18-12. They are hedging their bets. I think my numbers are safe -- I went down the coounty lists per district. All in but a few. The only thing where Obama is close to "losing" a delegate is district 4, and it is 100% in.

[Bilyb]

27. Obama Camp Spreadsheet Predicts 20-13

remaining state predictions there too...

Penn 75-83
Guam 2-2
Indy 39-33
N.Car 61-54
WVa 13-15
Ky 23-28
Ore 28-24
Mont 9-7
S Dak 8-7
PRico 25-30

Total 283-283

28. RCP is WRONG

It will be a 6-7 delegate split for Obama.
