Bad news Obama fans

[Uben]

In Texas, one-third of the totality of voters are hispanic. Clinton fairs much better among hispanics, and their numbers are up greatly this election. The number of African American voters is down three percent from 2004, another bit of new that does not bode well for Obama. Looks like this thing goes to the convention, and Hillary will have Big Mo after tonight'

This was on CBS evening news just now.

1. um...

1. clinton + hispanics = greatly exaggerated
2. texas voting = weighted against hispanic communities with historically low turnout
3. hillary got no mo'

[TheDeathadder]

28. um...

Clinton's going to become President

[jakem]

30. yes, and my dog is going to pilot a hot air balloon to wichita!

[TheDeathadder]

35. Good for your dog

maybe he can balloon ride you to Denver to see Clinton win the nomination.

[blocker]

2. did they include early voting?

Any news on that?

[Blue_Roses]

31. no...

:eyes:

some people never give up...

[tridim]

3. Dupe, and BS.

[yourguide]

4. Obama gets 35% of the hispanic vote

while HRC only gets 18% of the AA vote.

[anigbrowl]

11. Yeah, but that 35% doesn't count

Don't question me - Ihave a degree in Hillarymathics.

[yourguide]

25. oh yeah, and vermont?

TOTALLY doesnt count.

[anigbrowl]

5. Keep dreaming

The demographic makeup of Texas is not news to folks in the Obama camp. Unlike Team Clinton, Team Obama actually researched the states a long time ago. Get back to us after the results this evening and we'll see how much 'big mo' Hillary Clinton has then.

[jmg257]

6. And don't forget the repugs - LOTS of them voting for Hillary too.

NOT to disparage Latinos.

7. It's not "fairs," it's "fares."

n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. Gee. Imagine Someone So Smug And Petty Being An Obama Supporter.

:rofl:

[redqueen]

32. I'm glad I didn't point out that it's "news" and not "new"

:hide:

[thewiseguy]

10. Don't be an asshole......

.....I am just relating what I heard on the evening news. Take it for what it is worth. If you don't like it, call CBS. Jeeez!

[redqueen]

14. They *are* taking it for what it's worth.

Sorry, but if you come in here repeating a bunch of nonsense, don't expect it will be met with respect just cause you saw it on teevee.

[Uben]

21. So, it's nonsense if it is not good news for Obama?

When did we pass that law?

[redqueen]

22. Nooooooooooo...

it's nonsense if it's nonsense.

Perhaps you put too much stock in their little crystal ball games... most here do not.

[johnnydrama]

20. you think

Your "bad news Obama fans" is just relaying what you heard on the news?

[Uben]

23. You think it is good news?

Whatever floats your boat.

[redqueen]

24. It's not "news" at all!

:rofl:

[Uben]

26. Uh, yes it is

Those are the facts according to CBS, as of about 5:45 PM CST. It's merely a breakdown of who is showing up to vote. I can't help it if you don't like it, that's your problem.

[redqueen]

27. Those aren't facts... lord amighty!

Those are someone's OPINIONS, based on some facts... you are killing me here!

:rofl:

[Drunken Irishman]

12. It doesn't suggest anything. Obama is doing better than expected within the Hispanic vote.

[thewiseguy]

17. I am glad you came around after

saying he was going to lose by double digits tonight. Keeping fingers crossed.

[grantcart]

15. not true will have no effect read here

[rodeodance]

16. thanks for the report

[powergirl]

18. Texas precinct chair here - delegate weights will hurt Clinton

The Hispanic delegates that Clinton will get are weighted very low - based on prior years of non-voting. The urban delegates, which Obama commands, are weighed more b/c they voted much more in prior years than those regions in the Valley. So, Clinton loses LARGE on the urban, higher weighted delegates. Obama loses small, if he does, on the Valley/Hispanic votes, which are the lower weighted delegates.

[geek tragedy]

19. Yep, Clinton's going to win the statewide vote in Texas.

Obama could still pull off a delegate tie.

[LaurenG]

29. Please do not take this forum personally

I am a bit surprised by the way you are being treated. It's a CBS story and you get blamed because you had the audacity to post it? :shrug: I'm glad I didn't post it. :7

[redqueen]

33. You said "audacity"

Plagiarist!




Okay, I'm going...

[LaurenG]

36. LOL

:rofl: get back here!

[high density]

34. What about early voting? What about the caucus?

Sorry but I'm not worrying over exit poll stats in TX.

[Window]

37. They haven't even had the caucuses yet.
