16. The only unknown left is how Obama will hold up
now that the right wing media assault is in gear and the the MSM honeymoon might end. He'd have to be destroyed in the next couple of weeks. Many will be out to get Obama.

I was listening to NPR today and they said in Texas voters are actually being asked to vote twice. Texas has both a primary and a caucus on the same day.

About 2/3 of the delegates are chosen during the primary. Delegates are awarded by district and almost every district has four delegates. They split 2 each unless one candidate gets over 62%. The other districts that have more than 4 delegates are prime Obama country.

That evening a caucus is held where about 1/3 of the delegates are chosen. Hillary would have to get massive majorities of voters to vote for her twice. With caucuses she's had trouble getting voters to vote once. All the enthusiasm is with Obama.

She needs a miracle just to win Texas and she has to win by huge numbers. The only way that can happen is a sudden Obama collapse. Otherwise its all over. Even Bill said so today.
