Obama apparently won more delegates in Texas than Hillary did, but she's the "winner."
Go figure.

Obama wins Texas.
I waited an hour and a half in line to vote and counted 19 out of 20 people voting in Democratic Primary.

I think something similar happened in Nevada.
I can’t understand how a state can have both caucuses and a primary. Meh.

A lot of readers have wondered why the Texas caucuses have been so slow to report to the media. Because Hillary's people are trying to 1)figure out how to fix them, or, failing that 2)minimize their impact on the "Comeback Kid" narrative.

Texas’ system is really messed up. She won the primary which had the most delegates, yet since they give the loser almost as many delegates, he is able to beat her in the caucus with far fewer delegates.
Just messed up.

Obama would get 37 delegates to Hillary's 30 delegates, netting Obama a +3 delegate advantage for the combined Texas prima-caucus.
Hahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

This was predicted some time ago given the fact that the delegates are chosen by state senate district and weighted favoring the heavily black urban areas. So the reality is that Obama won Texas in much the same way that George Bush beat Gore in 2000 despite losing the popular vote.

In the world of democRATS that how it works. It's not who crosses the finish line first, has the most points at the end of the game, scored the most runs.
It's who ever screams the loudest "I won!"

I enjoyed listening to the Dems at work today, talking about what a fiasco the caucuses were. One lady talked about how how one of the leaders at hers would scratch off the name and choice of folks who supported the other side as soon as they left, but left all her folks on. And that was one of the milder stories.

I figured Obama would do much better in the caucus. +3 for Obama is a much better result for Mrs. Clinton than I would have expected.
