The media is trying to convince the voting public that Hilary Clinton won the Texas primary. Senator Barack Obama actually was victorious in Texas. In the individual voting Hilary received a few more votes however the vote differential was so narrow that according to CBS.com both candidates received 81 delegates. Texas also has a caucus process that awards 1/3 of the state's delegates and in that process Obama in ahead of Hilary by 12% at the time of this posting. With Obama ahead in the caucuses and tied with the delegates allocated from the individual voting he is actually winning overall in Texas. The Texas caucuses delegates are not yet finished being distributed however Obama is expected to maintain a healthy lead. Senator Obama is still in the lead by over 100 delegates and at worse case scenario for Obama Senator Clinton had a net gain of eight delegates. Please riddle me this how does the media figure that an eight delegate gain is a sweeping win? The current delegate count is Senator Barack Obama 1,573 and Hilary Clinton 1,464.
