Texas, 44% white, 32% hispanic, and 19% black.
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 02:05 AM by Levgreee
Age of voters

18-24(9%)
25-29(7%)
30-39(18%)
40-49(22%)
50-64(31%)
65 or Over(13%)

57% were females, 43% were males.



With how much the demographics favor Clinton, it is huge that Obama is going to basically tie or come out in top with delegates in Texas. This was a Clinton stronghold of sorts, she could've pulled a 42 55% or something similar, if not more. This could've been a turning point for Clinton, and you could say it NEEDED to be. It was the last big primary with such favorable demographics.

I think all Obama supporters should be happy about this. This was a very large victory, holding her back here. This was her Alamo. It didn't work to make actual change in the delegate count.

1. She took 67% of the DEMOCRATIC vote
It was the republican and independent voters that skewed it.
You cannot count on those come November but you can count on the Democratic support.

5. Yes Obama can count on the Democratic support
Hillary cannot count on any independent or Republican support. That means Hillary can't win.

6. You can also count on...
record turn out by Republicans to vote her down. They hate her. You know it, I know it, so why are we pretending it will all be roses if she grabs the nomination?

3. Yeah. He was way behind her in TX just a few weeks ago.
...and weren't the pundits saying she had to win by 20 points?
