Try Hawaii Ten-O. While you were sleeping, Obama's home state handed Barack Obama his 10th win in a row. More importantly, it handed him one of his widest margins, a 52 point spread. This is important because, unlike Republican contests that are winner take all, Democratic contests are proportional. This means that a big win in a small state can be more important than a small win in a big state.
Big wins can be more important because they create a larger spread. NH has nearly twice as many delegates as DC (22 vs 11). Hillary won NH by so small a margin that both candidates walked away with 9 delegates each, no advantage. Obama, on the other hand, won DC by 62 points allowing him to take 9 of the district’s 11 delegates, a 7 delegate gain.
Hillary’s big state strategy is not working. Obama has won twice as many states, and his average win has been more than 30 points. Clinton’s average win has been by less than 20 points. Winning large states is not enough to save Hillary.
Texas can decide the election in March AND in November. If Texans vote for Obama or just keep Hillary’s win small, Hillary will lose, and Obama can concentrate his fire on Mccain. Letting this drag out until the Democratic Convention only helps the Republicans. Parties that choose late usually lose. They allow the opposition to lock up the middle. This year, Texas Democrats have a rare opportunity to hand the White House to a Democrat. Yes You CAN!!
