I know a lot of people look at the 51% to 49% Hilary won and go "its over for Texas" and it is all I can say that...
NO. WHY? B/C WE EFFING WON THE CAUCUS.
Any chance she had at overall victory is now gone. Basically it works like this...YOU VOTE, YOU CAUCUS. Fail to do EITHER means you do not get ALL the delegates,and ALL the power. I'm a delegate. I was nominated by my precinct to go vote for Obama. One third of the delegates for Texas are going to Obama. Two thirds are hers. We're taking all 13 super delegates for the state.
Overall, she's no better off than she was when the day started, but Hilary is also no *worse* off either.
So when March 29th comes, and they say ...I wonder why Obama has a lot more delegates all of a sudden...look to me, and go "oh that's right, all the Repbulicans that were poisoning ballot boxes didn't caucus." It is what happened after all. Rush Limbaugh, KRLD, and whatever other talk radio idiots were encouraging Texas Republicans to vote for Hilary - why? Because they know McCain can't win against Obama, but know he will crush Hilary. So, since McCain was gonna win the primary anyway, why not put those 'extra votes' that don't 'matter' to use? LETS SCREW DEMOCRACY LADIES AND GERMS.
Again, my faith in humanity fails me a bit...because of it...the cities of Texas all chose Obama. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and even a large portion of El Paso chose Obama. What happened then? The rural areas dominated by Republicans flooded in by some strange twist. Record Democratic numbers came out of the hills to fill the ballot box for a candidate whose husband they called satan...I can't imagine this.
So given that information, this leads me to believe one thing: A long, hard, and most fraught with peril road stands before us. A lot of bad things could happen in the coming months.
I'll state one thing though: If Hilary splits the Democratic party in half, I swear I'll be the first one on board to kick her ass out of it. IF she doesn't get the nomination and chooses to run independent, you can bet your sweet ass evil will come to the White House again.
