Hillary is Having a Big Night

[JCMach1]

-Just took the lead in official TX results (still close)- OFFICIAL RESULTS http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/mar04_136_state.htm
-Big lead in RI, and OH currently...

[Dinger]

1. WAY TO GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tabatha]

2. where did you see TX results?

[tekisui]

3. Not big enough.

Shoe won't dent Obama's lead. He has a bloc of 50+ SuperD's waiting in the wing.

[Iceburg]

4. If CNN exit polls are to be believed ... Hillary may have a trifecta

CNN exit polls:

Rhode Island -

Male (43%) - 56% Obama, 43% Clinton
Female (57%) - 58% Clinton, 41% Obama

Ohio -

Male (41%) - 52% Obama, 47% Clinton
Female (59%) - 54% Clinton, 45% Obama

Texas -

Male (43%) - 52% Obama, 46% Clinton
Female (57%) - 53% Clinton, 46% Obama

----------------------
My calcs:
If the above exit poll numbers hold Clinton wins with 53% in RI and...
Clinton wins Ohio with 52%

Clinton wins Texas with 52%

[AX10]

33. PA, IN, WV, KY are next as well as PR.

She can win those too.

[Exilednight]

5. Obama is still holding the lead in Texas.

[JCMach1]

13. Check the official site

http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/mar04_136_state.htm

[Exilednight]

18. Delegate count Obama - 65 Clinton - 51

[Pachamama]

19. Just checked the official SOS of Texas site and its Obama leading, not Hillary

:eyes:

[Exilednight]

29. Same here. Obama is still slightly ahead.

[Kittycat]

6. Big cities aren't in yet.

Why does everyone always get so worked up early on? If you've watched any election so far - every total changes, and often in big ways - as the major cities start reporting in. Pop some popcorn, it's going to be a long night for both camps.

[Zhade]

22. The rollercoaster effect.

NT!

[JCMach1]

54. Big cities tend to report EARLY in TX, it's rural that comes in late

Obama needed a big lead by NOW... there is none.

[mathewsleep]

7. too bad it doesn't matter.

the only way she can realistically win is by using the super delegates to over turn the pledged delegate count.

[Hawkeye-X]

8. Congratulations to Hillary - but unfortunately it's not enough.

She'll be forced to step aside tomorrow when Obama gets new bloc of endorsements.

Plus, the math is clear - Hillary cannot get any further.

Hawkeye-X

[GreenTea]

59. If she win Texas, it puts things way close...cuz she won all the big states....

CA, NY, NJ, Ohio, MI, FL, AZ and perhaps Texas (along with some smaller states she's won )...only big state PA is next, and if she wins that state....it will be all over for Obama!

[Dbdmjs1022]

9. It's still early

TX is gonna be close, and Harris County hasn't started reporting yet. RI was always going to go her way. And OH is still too close to call. Even if she does win all 3, it won't make a big dent on her delegate count.

Congrats to Hillary on RI though (no sarcasm at all, it's a fair win. She did well)

[NightWatcher]

10. she's gonna net 10-12 delegates and cut obama's lead to 145

[tekisui]

16. Obama's up by 9, as of right now. I still expect him to gain.

[NashVegas]

11. No Way!

CNN shows her closing but not leading.

Oh, my.

[Maddy McCall]

12. A great night!

[mathewsleep]

17. will you still think that if she loses texas?

[SammyWinstonJack]

24. looses?

:silly:

[mathewsleep]

30. you know what i meant.

[SammyWinstonJack]

63. I did?

:silly:

[DJ13]

14. Obama is doing well

Delegates-

Hillary Clinton 51

Barack Obama 65

[Colobo]

15. He's leading by 2.

[JCMach1]

20. Check TOTAL VOTE (includes early and today)

49.7 Hillary
48.3 Obama

Delegate count currently has Obama +14

[Patchuli]

21. CNN disagrees

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/

*edit for clarity. My webpage with http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/ tells me that Obama is winning Texas.

[Colobo]

26. Obama's winning in TX.

[Patchuli]

31. Yup. That's what CNN says...nt

[JCMach1]

27. They can dispute the Sec. of State all they like, but it's the real count

MSNBC also had Scarborough just come in to change the spin as the results come in...

[NashVegas]

35. Go Here

http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/mar04_136_state.htm

[Patchuli]

47. Thanks. Looks like Obama to me! nt

[NashVegas]

57. Look Again

The first column is made of early voting totals. 3rd column is today.

[Patchuli]

58. It's too early and too close

but if Houston and Austin haven't fully reported, things can change either way fast. I think I'll just hang tight here. I would also like to say I will vote for either Dem but I do have more confidence in Obama than in Clinton.

[Iceburg]

36. Actually .. CNN exit poll people agreee...

Rhode Island -

Male (43%) - 56% Obama, 43% Clinton
Female (57%) - 58% Clinton, 41% Obama

Ohio -

Male (41%) - 52% Obama, 47% Clinton
Female (59%) - 54% Clinton, 45% Obama

Texas -

Male (43%) - 52% Obama, 46% Clinton
Female (57%) - 53% Clinton, 46% Obama

----------------------
Now crunching the numbers ...
If the above exit poll numbers hold ...
Clinton wins RI with 53%
Clinton wins Ohio with 52%
Clinton wins Texas with 52%

[spooky3]

40. official TX page (linked in a post above) shows Clinton 50, Obama 48 @ 10:16 EST

[Botany]

have the cities in OH come in yet?

I don't think so.

[Hepburn]

43. Nope....

...county with Cleveland...polls closing was extended. That should come in real strong for Obama.

I would love to get Queen Hillary out of the race ASAP so we can start going after McCain instead of dealing with her lies 24/7 and her doing bullshit things likr endorsing McLame.

[sueragingroz]

23. The longer she stays in the race, the more Obama gets vetted....

[SKKY]

25. Remember, she was up by 20+ less than a month ago...

...I wouldn't call this a Big Night. At best, it's holding on my the skin of her teeth.

[Bake]

60. And she's up by almost 20 points in Ohio now.

I'd call that a big win. If it were BHO, you'd be calling it a landslide.

Bake

[SKKY]

61. No, I'd be just as nervous as you should be...

[nomorewhopper]

28. HILLARY IS UP HUGE IN RHODE ISLAND WITH 49% REPORTING

61 - 38

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229230

[Exilednight]

34. You're surprised? It was an expected big win for Hillary.

[shawmut]

37. wow what happened to "too close to call"

guess not :)

[tandem5]

32. so that early vote column - is that the final number for early votes?

it adds up to about a million... what am I missing?

[JCMach1]

38. Yes, that is the real number: Hillary up by almost 2% (50-48) in the official count now

[tandem5]

44. Well then if the exits are right she should most certainly win the primary component of texas nt

[grantcart]

39. Yup she is only down 13 delegates

http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/03/ohio-texas-vermont-and-rhode-island.html

[Double T]

41. The tide has turned and obama is going down............

and soon out!!!!

[mathewsleep]

45. ha!

you're dumb.

[Double T]

52. Go back to sleep, Mat. I'll let YOU know when it is over.........

for obama.

[mathewsleep]

53. i'll let you know

the delegates are what will count. and he'll win more then her. sorry.

[Oleladylib]

42. She will win the popular vote and she will stay in...she should!!!

Too many questions about Obama to be answered...lets take the 5 months.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

46. Dallas and Austin are starting to report in

Obama is winning by landslides in those areas. When Houston begins to report, it will be the final nail in the coffin.

[judaspriestess]

48. WOOHOO GO HILLARY!!!

:bounce:

[CampDem]

49. She is doing very well

This is an exciting night!
:bounce:

[Dinger]

50. O Lead Down to 1%!

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#TX

[JCMach1]

51. Hillary over 50% in TX now!

:) http://enr.sos.state.tx.us/enr/mar04_136_state.htm

[Pryderi]

55. Wow! Hillary finally wins one, and y'all get giddy.

[question everything]

56. Go Hillary, Go!

And stick it to all the ObamDuers who cannot just celebrate their idol, they have to stomp on Hillary to prove that they are big, they are important.

[JCMach1]

62. Back to Hillary 50-48 Obama, Delegates (Obama +2)
