I am enjoying all the threads about the Texas caucuses
but I have a question. Has any network or cable news program even mentioned this? Will they mention it when (or if, I get conflicting info from some of the threads) Texas officially goes for Obama?

In a way, I realize that it doesn't matter if they don't. He'll still get the delegates. But I find it curious that they seem to be ignoring this huge story.

1. What else is new? It will be a small blurb, I presume.

4. Thanks
I read on one of the threads that Obama already has Texas lit up for himself on the map on his site! I hope they do push it.

5. Obama has won at every turn
He won Iowa. He tied NH. He won the delegates in NV. He won SC.

Obama Won January.

He won Super Tuesday.

He won the rest of the races in February.

Obama Won February.

Obama Won VT, WY, MS, and TEXAS.
Hillary won OH and RI.

Obama Won March.

There are 8 states left and she is only predicted to win 3.

And yet, STILL, the media will not proclaim Obama as the frontrunner.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

13. The live Sunday morning news shows will mention it.
I doubt they'll spend much time on it but they will mention it.

17. They'll keep that going anyway.
All they do is talk shit. The Obama campaign wins delegates, and the Clinton campaign talks a lot of shit.

16. They won't say anything, and if they do say anything they won't say much.
But it doesn't matter, because Obama will get the delegates, and that's what matters.

Nanny nanny poo poo.
