Late-breaking numbers out of Texas’ odd two-phase voting system put an asterisks on Hillary Clinton’s Tuesday night victory speech, showing gains made by Barack Obama in the delegate grab race had all but numerically canceled out her big win in Ohio
Although Clinton scored major moral — and morale — victories by taking more votes in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island, an Associated Press count of the delegates shows Clinton only reduced Obama’s delegates lead by 12 following Tuesday’s voting. She lost in Vermont to Obama.
In the overall race for the nomination, Obama had 1,562 delegates, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates. Clinton had 1,461. It takes 2,025 delegates to secure the Democratic nomination.
For the night, Clinton won at least 185 delegates and Obama won at least 173

They knew about this beforehand, but with the Clinton’s its all about Press Releases and worry about facts later!
This is good news. We don’t need the Beast to win, we only need her to think that she CAN win.
Let the rat-blood flow in the streets. It will be a good old-fashioned bleeding that might restore some political health to our sickly nation.
The Democrat Party is too smart to let ordinary Democrats choose the nominee. Maybe we could rig the general election so that only intellegent folks can vote. We might get a better government out of it.
To the extent that her continued efforts in that regard and her continued attacks on Obama to further those goals continue and fracture the dems...I am all for it.
I have no doubt they'll dramatically overhaul it after this cycle, because this convention might end up making '68 look like a Boy Scout gathering.
delagates will NOT matter. Hillary can manage them.
Thought you might be interested in this thread.
Excellent! ....Going exactly as planned.
Hillary and Obama are poised to spend a bajillion dollars in Pennsylvania - - a bajillion RAT dollars. Aside from the fact that I live in the Philly area and will be barfing non-stop from the TV and radio ad buys, I will know that those ad buys are causing the RATS to flush a bajillion rat dollars down the toilet. I truly hope this rat primary gets really filthy dirty.
She can’t manage them, she’ll attack them unless they vote for her.
but the story is already out there. hehe
How heart breaking!
(I hope this thing goes to the convention with neither of them having a sufficient number of delegates to ensure their nomination and that the Clinton machine then steals it at the convention. Blacks will, at that point, abandon the process in droves.)
I hope you're right. Just as long as black Democrats believe that Hillary STOLE the nomination from Obama, that's all that matters.
26 seconds apart. We obviously are on the same page.
Tune up the big screen and surround. Get ready for WWW DNC Convention.
Personally, I think you should be 35 before you can:
1. Ride a motorcycle
2. Get Married
3. Vote
