    Interesting News Out of Texas

    Turns out that because of the gerrymandering in Texas, there is a very good chance that a Clinton win in Texas on March 4 might still result in Obama ending up with more delegates from the state:

    What Clinton aides discovered is that in certain targeted districts, such as Democratic state Sen. Juan Hinojosa's heavily Hispanic Senate district in the Rio Grande Valley, Clinton could win an overwhelming majority of votes but gain only a small edge in delegates. At the same time, a win in the more urban districts in Dallas and Houston -- where Sen. Barack Obama expects to receive significant support -- could yield three or four times as many delegates.


    Looking more and more like it is going to be tough for her to overtake Obama in pledged delegates -- and that would leave her relying upon superdelegates to take the nomination.
