So, who's going to win the Ohio primary?

So you think Clinton will win Ohio? It's a dead heat right now. I'm nervous!

Obama will get more than he deserves

How many delegates does Obama "deserve", deep?

As many as the Clintons think are relevant.

I like to see delegates and electoral votes apportioned as evenly as possible,
that is one person's vote in one area should have the same value as another person's vote in another area.

Unfortunately the Democrat Party in
Texas has not done this.

And WHO gerrymandered the districts to skew the votes in the first place if not the Texas Republicans (in their typical racist fashion, I might add).

who?

the dems did this to themselves

each party decides how they will award / apportion delegates to their respective conventions

that is why some states have both elections and cauci

Although I cannot for the life of me believe it...probably Clinton. What will it take for America to wake the fuck up and just end this charade once and for all. Just face the fact that Obama is the better candidate and that if Hillary was to win the nomination it will be the end of the Democratic party as we know it. McCain will win and the U.S. will be in Iraq for a hundred years. Your choice America...smarten up and do not vote for Hillary Clinton!!!

Obama will, I think, win Ohio and Texas.

Clinton needs to gracefully bow out now.



The Libertarian candidate will loose.

Clinton will do well in OH as republicans, armed with the knowledge that McCain is their candidate, will do their best to help the Dems select the weaker candidate.

If I lived in Texas, I'd swap sides for a day and vote/caucus for Hillary.

depending where you lived in Texas
it may not make much difference

primaries, cauci, and weighted? districts

Quote:
For example, Texas’ 14th senatorial district, which includes the state capital of Austin, is assigned eight delegates because there was a huge Democratic vote there in the past two elections. But the 31st senatorial district, which takes in the heavily Republican Panhandle, is assigned just two delegates because recent Democratic candidates didn’t get that many votes there.
