Clinton won the primary in Texas, yet Obama won the caucus. Can somebody explain how the deligate totals for Texas works this way?:shrug:

1. Did Obama actually win the caucus? I see O 52 vs. C 48, with 36% reporting. n/t |

Only 36% reporting. If it does go for Obama in the caucus, what happens with the delegates?

12. They are divided proportionally |
|
And, I think, not yet fully allocated. The Texas delegate conventions are progressive and go on through June 6-7

2. I think the primary contains 65% of total delegates and caucus is the rest. I'm not sure if caucus |
|
is winner take all. Anyone?

But at this point it doesn't matter.
Hillary did not make the gains necessary to win the nomination. Obama is on a coasting trajectory to 2025.

10. Probably not. Super delegates make up 795 of the 4047 total delegates |
|
But he will get a total of 2025 delegates with pledged and super delegates easily even if Hillary somehow manages to get a double digit lead of super delegates.

13. What Hillary did last night was |
|
get the 2 big State wins as reason to stay in the race. The SPIN she and the media are putting on it is: HILLARY WON BIG. HILLARY HAS THE BIG MO.
If Obama were to win a couple of quick victories in Wyoming and Mississippi, then the euphoria dies down.
What happened last night was a convention in Denver with no nominee going in, a divided Democratic Party, and a John McCain Presidency. Everything the Rethugs could have hoped for.

6. The caucus delegates are split proportionally |
|
...to the number of attendees that sign in for each candidate.

5. Obama hasnt won the caucus. He still may but lets wait and see |
|
If he wins the caucus, he will probably end up with more delegates in Texas.
