Feb. 9th primaries & caucuses--Dem. results thread

[The Mikado]

Maybe Ciro will endorse Obama?

Clinton has  Reps. Solomon Ortiz, Silvestre Reyes of El Paso, Henry Cuellar of Laredo,  and Rubén Hinojosa of Mercedes.

Garry Mauro is also backing Hillary.

After Clinton's husband did a campaign rally on the eve or Rodriguez's election?

Do you think anyone in Texas knows who Garry Mauro is (maybe if he is married or has children or his parents are still living)?  He ran 17% behind the Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor, 13% AG, 17% Controller, 8% Land Commissioner, 11% Ag Commissioner, or 9% RR Commissioner.  There is no straight ticket voting in primaries.

The guy who got his ass kicked by George Bush in 1998?  Yeah, I remember him...and that election.

Maybe Alaska and/or North Dakota as well.

But Washington has more people, so they break the tie.

Alaska does not have counties.

It does. They're called boroughs.

Hilarious Clinton spin on her losses this past weekend:

Oh, well isn't that convenient, every single state that the Democrats will never win is also a state that Obama won, and every single state that the Democrats must focus in is also a state that Clinton won.

EDIT: Oh, besides Missouri.  Is Clinton still clinging to the belief that she won Missouri?

Yes, Texas sure is a must-win for a Democratic presidential nominee. But it's a clever spin. One would expect people to go the other way, saying that Obama's strength in GOP areas is a sign of strength for the general (it isn't, of course, but that's irrelevant) and yet she manages to make it the other way around.
