11% reporting 50% Clinton 49% Obama.
I didn't caucus; why bother.  It's a mess out there.

20% reporting 49% Clinton 49% Obama.

Doesn't she need to win both Ohio and Texas in a landslide to catch up with Obama?

Clinton has 52 % and Obama has 48 But that those numbers don't match the new numbers they have and that Obama is out front now winning Travis county, where I voted.

Go Hillary!  She is by far more qualified than Hussein Obama.

BTW, I am enjoying very much this circular firing squad.   ;D

She needed to win both Ohio and Texas in landslides to catch up tonight.  With the apparent wins tonight (Ohio in a landslide and Texas probably close), she can now catch Obama in the stretch, i.e. in the remaining primaries.  I dont know if she will but it will clearly be close.  BTW, you can thank in part crossover Republican voters for helping HRC in Texas.

This morning Senator Clinton hinted that she might add Barack Obama to the ticket if the people of Ohio allowed it.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Isn't she still losing?  Would Obama be willing to add her to his ticket and would she accept it?

Clinton needs to win 94% of the remaining delegates to win the primary outright. Obama needs 75%.

Sadly, the Dem party will be the ones picking the candidate, and not the democratic electorate. Dems should be exhilarated that they have a great close race, but they should be pissed that the decision is coming down to party leaders, and not the people who actually vote.

Wrong.  (And downtownparks you are wronger.)  She won the popular vote; however, due to the impropriaties (Hello Oral Roberts) Obama won the caucus vote.  What this mean?  I have no idea.

It basically means she's in the same place she was before last night, as far as number of delegates are concerned.

Personally, I think the "impropriaties" thing is just a little played out.  But on a side note, who would have ever thought you would have seen: won the popular vote, Hillary, and Oral Roberts, in the same sentence?

I think the Dems are 120% thrilled to be voting on the next president and it's has manifested itself in record turnout and record registrations.  Okay, maybe "technically" they have no say but at the end of the day the voters made a difference for the democratic party?

by having the decision taken out of their hands? Ok... As a voter, I wouldn't be happy with that at all.
