- light65733, on 03/12/2008, -21/+294Good, now Hillary can quit as she promised.
- saleem, on 03/12/2008, -2/+203seen this one before: it's because of the slopes of the triangles aren't equal.
- SheilaNoya, on 03/12/2008, -9/+104His name has a nice ring to it.
The more the hate-mongers repeat it, the more I like it.
Now get used to saying it, because he's going to be your next President. - phr3akster, on 03/12/2008, -19/+113Good. Get this mudslinging bitch out of the race already.
- lawngnomes4pres, on 03/12/2008, -12/+90How many times is this going to become "official" on digg? WE KNOW OBAMA WON TEXAS.
- AtHomeBoy2000, on 03/12/2008, -9/+71Delegate count problem, they said Obama won 38 from the caucuses and Clinton won 30. That adds up to 68... one more than the 67 being allocated.
- Jenadae, on 03/12/2008, -6/+56I'm pro Obama but c'mon you guys stop talking out of both sides of your asses. If Clinton won the caucus it'd be ridiculous how they work but now that Obama won she needs to shut up? Meh... It's a victory for both of them but in the end i see it as more cannon fodder for Clinton to spew around after the nomination has been settled.
- SheilaNoya, on 03/12/2008, -3/+53HUH? According to local Texas news today (3/11/08), they have received the caucus results from 170 precincts but have only gone through 13 of them so far. They still don't have the final results for 33 precincts and the county chairmans still have until March 29th to state their preferences, so this still isn't over yet.
It looks like a definite win for Obama, but none of the results are final yet according to the El Paso Times:

- chicoer2001, on 03/12/2008, -10/+50Note to media: You're not on a comeback if you win three states after losing 13. You just got up and whiped the dirt off your ass.
- fnv2001, on 03/12/2008, -12/+48
Let me say it one more time...BARACK OBAMA HAS WON THE STATE OF TEXAS.
Print THAT, NY Times. - SheilaNoya, on 03/12/2008, -2/+36Here's another story stating the official results for the Texas caucus won't be in until March 29th.

- theaceoffire, on 03/12/2008, -2/+29I predict three more front page stories, followed by five more when she sues Texas, followed by 2 more when she loses the lawsuit.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -4/+27SHACKALAKA
(woops) - saxreturns, on 03/12/2008, -2/+24Why, would there be a tissue shortage under a McCain administration? If so I am concerned about his leadership skills.
- gianttoolbox11, on 03/12/2008, -26/+47Will the bitch quit already?
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -4/+25The Flying Spaghetti Monster ...
- micropublisher, on 03/12/2008, -1/+18Here's a question for diggers: If Obama loses the party's nomination, who would you vote for?
- CrazyDave303, on 03/12/2008, -2/+18Dam the US needs election reforms. How the hell can people be secure in a system that you don't actually vote for the person on the ballets; you vote for the person that will most likely vote for who you intended to vote for. (yes I know that sentence barely makes sense, but nether does the voting system. And that's if you can vote in the first place)
- rstarr, on 03/12/2008, -6/+21After 2000, we take what we can get...
- SirBrittanicus, on 03/12/2008, -3/+18HE'S ON FIRE!
- N256, on 03/12/2008, -1/+14Is it the shoes?!
- bocaJWho, on 03/12/2008, -0/+13Diggs comment system needs an "oops" button.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -1/+13Don't pull any muscles on that world-class stretch
- soden240, on 03/12/2008, -1/+13From downtown!
- peestandingup, on 03/12/2008, -1/+13He's heating up!
- llawlessl, on 03/12/2008, -9/+21I would've liked to say, that'll shut her up! But it won't...it won't...
- opmike, on 03/12/2008, -0/+11Jams it in!
- qwerter, on 03/12/2008, -1/+12This remains to be seen. According to NPR, over a million people participated in the caucus. Assume the percentages hold steady once all the votes are counted (no guarantee there, of course)--Obama 56%, Hillary 44%. Divide them into one million, and you get:
Obama 560,000
Clinton 440,000
The primary vote tallies (according to nytimes.com):
Obama: 1,358,785
Clinton: 1,459,814
Add the two together:
Obama: 1,918,785
Clinton: 1,899,814
And Obama takes the LEAD on the popular vote. I don't mean to belittle your point--all I'm saying is let's wait until all the votes are counted before we jump to conclusions (though if the numbers hold steady, there should be nothing to worry about). - tendonut, on 03/12/2008, -3/+14ZING!
- LloydBentsen, on 03/12/2008, -0/+11It's because it is an estimate based on the precinct conventions. The delegates from the precinct convention go on to the Senatorial Convention, where they select delegates to go to the State Convention. At the state convention, national delegates will be apportioned. That could be why you get 68 rather than 67.
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 03/12/2008, -9/+19Will the mainstream media recognize this as an Obama victory?
It all means nothing if CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc, are all still saying Clinton won "Ohio and Texas". - Swarms, on 03/12/2008, -2/+12And Lewinsky pulled a Clinton. Hey-Oooo!
- coolkatz321, on 03/12/2008, -2/+12So I guess this means that Hillary "officially" won Missouri, right? After all, she lost the vote of the PEOPLE in the state but won more delegates. It will be very interesting to see what happens if she wins the popular vote but has less delegates...
- jaxter2010, on 06/17/2009, -22/+32If Obama won the popular vote but lost the delegate vote, people would be on here bitching about how the delegate system needs to be reformed. Digg has become one big Obama jerk circle.
Go Ahead, Bury me, I'm sick of reading all this *****. - nirav72, on 03/12/2008, -2/+12I don't think anyone called Bill Clinton by William Jefferson clinton , or Kennedy by John Fitzgerald Kennedy or or Reagan by Ronald Wilson Reagan. Middle name is irrelevant to rational people. Only of importance to ignorant *****-for-brains ***** like you.
- nirav72, on 03/12/2008, -1/+11You'd have to get past some dudes in black suits and earphones sticking out the side of their ears. But if you can manage that, I'm sure he might let you do a man hug.
- stephenturney, on 03/12/2008, -1/+10Texas has a hybrid primary/caucus. The Caucus gets 1/3 of the delegates from Texas and is most definitely representative of the state. Typically there would be about 80 people at each polling place, but outside of Dallas (where I'm from), There were upwards of 800 people in line waiting hours to vote. Part of why the counting for the caucuses is taking so long is because there are so many votes making it very representative of the state. This secondary voting process is just an additional way to vote for delegates. I think its stupid to make it so complicated, but it representative none the less.
- Sam3425, on 03/12/2008, -3/+12Hahaha. Thanks for that.
- mogebier, on 03/12/2008, -26/+35[sarcasm] But I thought that the Democrats always went with the "popular vote" [/sarcasm]
- indigit4l, on 03/12/2008, -11/+20It's on the internet. It must be true
- ezco506th, on 03/12/2008, -2/+11Get used to being dug down. Compulsory BITCH.
- junkwheel, on 03/12/2008, -2/+11FINISH HER!
- itspuddingtime, on 03/12/2008, -0/+8... Mayor Goldie Wilson! I like the sound of that.
- afpunk, on 03/12/2008, -3/+11That's a good question, and one a lot of older democrats don't understand. Despite being extremely liberal, there's no way in hell I'd ever cast a vote for Hillary Clinton, even if it meant that McCain would win the election. My choices would be between writing in Obama, Kucinich, or voting for Nader from what I see. Yeah, in strategic terms, any one of those would be a meaningless vote. However, what other option is there?
- nirav72, on 03/12/2008, -4/+12NY Times won't do that. They endorsed Hillary. bastards.
- chase001, on 03/12/2008, -0/+8Meaning: The Arabic name Hussein means - little; handsome
How horrible. - SwabTheDeck, on 03/12/2008, -2/+9This article uses the term "popular vote" in place of "primary vote" which kind of makes it misleading. Hillary won more delegates than Obama in the primary portion of the vote, but this does not necessarily mean she won the "popular vote". The popular vote is having a majority of the total number of voters in the entire state and, in the case of Texas, this includes the sum of voters from both the primary and the caucus.
