These polls have been all over the place. I still think that Hillary takes Ohio (due to proletarian white folks) and Texas (thanks to Hispanics).

I disagree. Because of the way delegates are apportioned, the black vote in the Texas primary is actually more significant than the Hispanic vote, regardless of turnout, and regardless of the fact that Hispanics significantly outnumber blacks in Texas. If Obama wins Austin, Houston and Dallas, he can afford to lose San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley and still win a majority of the delegates.

Someone on TV mentioned something similar to what you just said but I could not understand exactly what he meant? Do you mean that the districts where black voters are concentrated have more delegates than the districts where the Hispanic voters are concentrated?
