    Is it true that Hilary is currently leading in both Texas and Ohio?

    She's probably going to lose the Texas Delegates I believe.

    This wasn't enough, sorry dude.

    She won Ohio, as well as Rhode Island.

    Texas is too close to call. She currently as of 12:41 EST has a 50-48 percent lead, which it has been for a while now.

    Texas is a two-part vote as well, and the popular vote doesn't demonstrate the way the delegates are separated.

    She had to Win Ohio AND Texas by a big Margin to catch up, now they're still basically tied. IIRC Obama has statistically a 80+% chance of being the nominee.

    With 5% of the votes in, Obama is winning 56-44 in the Texas Caucus.

    How's that momentum thing going? Petering out it seems, eh?

    Obama's gone from winning 11 straight to losing 3 of the last 4.

    Just fine.

    He won Texas. He won 2 out four. Hillary was supposed to win Texas a couple of days ago.

    Obama has gained on McCain in the polls over the last couple of days as well.

    Not trying to make you feel bad or anything, it's a serious question.

    I'm glad that Clinton won. I don't want Obama to be the president. We need a president who's parents and grandparents were born here. That is not the case with Obama, half his family is in Africa. Not that anything is wrong with that but he's not a true American. Just like I'm not myself, I have American citizenship but most of my family is in Kosovo.

    Clinton on the other hand, has the experience, and has been in the White House for 8 years. (with Bill of course)



    Personally, I'm voting for McCain, but either him or Clinton would do just fine as the next American President.

    What you are ignoring is the fact that she doesn't have to catch up. Neither is going to get enough delegates to win outright, so it's going to come down to soviet-style backroom deals in smoke filled rooms. Deals like "I'll make you ambassador to the virgin islands in exchange for your vote" or "if we get Michigan and Florida's delegates to count"

    Speaking of which, that's being talked about as politburo style democracy, as well (Michigan and Florida not counting, and only one candidate on the ballot).

    All the talk so far has been about what kind of deals can possibly be made to force one of the two to quit.

    Unlike McCain who has the required number of delegates and is the presumptive nominee.
