The Way I See Things

There will be more posts about how Senator Obama embraces and embodies the virtues of Critical Thinking.

And how Senator Clinton flaunts them.

But for now...
While the Clinton campaign is rabid about being first in circulating their message, they sometimes have a significant problem with...
The accuracy of said message.

In this election process, Texas is unique because their delegate apportionment system consists of both a primary AND a caucus. Delegates are awarded based on the results of each component. While projections are sometimes useful, it's probably a good idea to wait, until results are essentiaally incontrovertible, before releasing any statements regarding victory and/or defeat.

Given that the caucus counting is currntly estimated at only 41% complete, it's reasonable to infer any projections would be somewhat premature.
And it seems the Clintons continue to be...
Unreasonable.

Ongoing developments indicate the Clintons may have some issues regarding their declaration of 'victory' in Texas...
Because they may--Indeed--LOSE that state's delegate race.

From NPR:


"Here's where the delegate count gets funky. NPR's Wade Goodwyn and Robert Siegel report that Clinton's primary win means she snapped up 65 delegates to Obama's 61. Not a big difference, but a difference nonetheless. But if the numbers in the caucus vote hold up, then Obama will win 37 more pledged delegates to Clinton's 30. So Obama would have 98 delegates and Clinton 95 and he would leave Texas with three more delegates that Clinton."

That strikes me as a monumental if not...
Monstrous...
Defeat.
