Texas Delegate Explination : Hillary's HALF VICTORY

[politicallore]

Nvm then


But after looking at the graphs, Hillary will still come out on top, but Obama will sure lessen the victory, because of his city wins.

1. Seriously, I dont think so

Ill bet you Obama gets more delegates out of Texas

[PseudoIntellect]

2. What?

You seem to have forgotten about proportional allocation. This isn't the GOP. The math is much harder than subtracting 67 from 100-and-whatever.

[politicallore]

3. That is true, but It will be very close to that figure

9. Oh boy, are you in for a surprise

[k8conant]

4. You obviously don't know anything about this process...

and probably are busy assuming Hillary Clinton got all of Ohio's delegates. :crazy:

[ingac70]

5. the # of delegates are ....

greater in high population areas. Areas where Obama won.

[MadBadger]

6. Sounds like you think delegates are winner take all.

EVERY STATE"S DELEGATES ARE PROPORTIONAL

[anigbrowl]

7. It's not winner-take-all - no dem contests are

You can see this from the CNN results pages. Get a clue!

8. That's crazy talk. She may get 4 more of the PRIMARY delegates (i.e., she might get 65 of the 126

and Obama might get 61) or something in that neighborhood. He might win the caucus by 3 or 5 (or more) delegates (i.e., he wins 35 or 36 to her 32 or 31).

Obama will likely finish one delegate short of Hillary (not 59) and might very well finish one delegate up on Hillary.

10. She won Texas. Obama did not close the deal. End of story.

11. i still think he wins more delegates

He'll be +8 to +10 in the 4 big cities that have 5-8 delegates.

She'll have a few 3-1 victories in the big places that have 4 delegates.

And then he'll win some from the caucus.

No matter how much it looked like he could win TX the last week, for 3-4 weeks now, the case was if Obama was within 5% in the primary, he'd win more delegates. None of that has changed. He's still 60-40 or so in the places with 5-8 delegates, and that will be the margin of victory, 5-8 delegates.
