Didn't see one poted yet, and Early exit polling is already out.

Let's all watch and enjoy as the Democrats continue to rip each others throats out!

“I’ve asked this several times today (and haven’t gotten an answer yet): are ANY of these states “winner take all” for either party?”


Texas Republican presidential delegates: ours are awareded by state senatorial district; if McCain wins in a state senatorial district, he gets those delegates; same with Huckabee.

Texas Democrats: 65% of delegates are awarded by state senatorial district. Then, they caucus by precinct at 7:15pm tonight and vote again for the presidential candidates and call their numbers into the Democrat county chairman who then calls the numbers in to the state Democrat Party and they use a formula to determine which candidate gets the 35%.

Yes, it’s a dumb Democrat way to do this, but they are dumb anyway, so what can you expect?

Hillary Clinton will win big tonight in Texas and Ohio. She will now have leverage to force runoffs in Michigan and Florida and she will overtake Obama with Delegates. The SuperDelegates will flock to Hillary.

Thank you morons Rush Limbaugh,Ingraham, and Hannity.
You underestimated the witch and now you will get 8 years of Clintons in the WH...total morons.

Just voted in Dayton, OH - rain and light turnout in a pubbie district. Almost switched and voted for a rat but couldn’t do it.

The caucus in TX is ONLY for Democrats or those who vote Dem. Texans are registered with no party affiliation. When you go to the primary, you are asked which ballot you want, Rep or Dem and then vote with that particular ballot. Your voter card is stamped with the party you voted for and remains effective the rest of that year.

If you voted Dem, then you are eligible to go to the caucus too after the polls close at your precinct.

Delegates are proportional for Repubs and Dems and the Dems further split delegates by the popular vote and the caucus.

If you crossover as a Republican for example, and one of the Repub candidates down ticket have a tie or need a revote, you cannot cross back over for that vote.

Again, there is no caucus for Repubs.

“Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”


Sorry, we aren’t. Have some popcorn. For Texas, we will get the Democxrat popular vote numbers which will count for 65% of their delegates by senatorial district. Then they caucus at 7:15pm so they can vote again, then call those numbers to the state Democrat Party, so they can determine which candidate gets the other 35% of the delegates. That determination may take a long time, as in a number of hours.

To my knowledge, the Democrats haven’t done this in many years since the Dem candidate was already determined by the time Texas came around. I suspect that process will be a mess tonight.

Agreed. If we can get Clinton down for the fall, do it now. If she rises, with McCain a weak candidate, here comes Bill and Hill again.

An Obama win for the nomination is an almost sure win for the GOP, even though, sigh, that means McPain. The Clinton fans won’t like Obama, Bill and Hill will want him defeated for their 2012 run, and the Establishment—whoever they are, heh heh—will not want Obama to win in November. All signs point to the GOP if Obama is the nominee.

Step one, defeat the Clinton Machine as soon as possible.
