Texas Primary/Caucus -- Hillary in the Lead

So I live in Texas, right? A RED, RED state. As republican as you can ever get. The most hillybilly, redneck, bumpkin, conservative state with a population greater than 100,000 you could possibly live in (the population rule/description excludes the equally bumpkin conservative "states" of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc). Anyways, I'm a registered Democrat and I'm more interested in which candidate will win so I'm gonna update on the Democratic race that is the [nonsensical] Texas Two-step (Primary + Caucus).

I will be updating this every now and then...

In case you wanted to know, I voted for this charismatic man. Barack the vote, y'all!

8:00
54 % Barack
45 % Hillary
1 % of votes counted.

More, more more to go. Hillary has the Valley/Border/San Antonio votes and Obama has Dallas/Houston/Austin votes that still need to be counted. It could be very close.

JOHN MCCAIN RECIEVES THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION!!!
Wow!!! I knew he was going to get it. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. My Oscars predicting skillz have translated to the presidencies. God, I'm awesome. And I saw him speak too!!

Which means... if Barack gets the Democratic vote, I'll have seen both presidential candidates live and in person. How fantastic!


8:41
53 % Barack
46 % Hillary
4 % of votes counted

You know what. I'm just going to update waaayyyy later. I really need to get writing up a 4 page paper for my Communications class.


8:46
Obama just Vermont
Clinton won Rhode Island
[McCain (R) won all of his, as we all know, haha]


9:33 - TIED - oh no!
49% Obama
49% Clinton
19% of votes counted.


9:47 - Hillary overtakes Clinton in terms of popular votes
Still 49/49
23% of votes counted.


10:01 - Hillary projected to win Ohio
Texas is still close, Hillary ahead. Hillary the "comeback kid" -- gaining momentum.


March 5, 2008 - 12:20 a.m.
Hillary has taken Ohio and she has won the Texas Primary. The Texas Caucus votes are still being counted and she is still behind in delegates (roughly 80). This is because of the proportional distribution of delegates per vote (it's not a win all-take all) and Hillary hasn't been winning by too, too much. Anyways, I'm not going to keep track for the rest of the night because my roommate has retired to a light slumber and has turned off his television. We shall check the news tomorrow, I guess.


Goodnight!! If you were wondering, I have only written my introduction to my communications paper. UGH.
