Hillary up 51,000. I don't think Houston and Dallas have enough left to overcome the difference. Turnout in El Paso and the Valley was enormous and went 70-30 for Hillary. The networks should be calling Texas for Hillary soon.
Because they're susceptible to bigotry and ignorance just like any other race, don't grasp the concept of divide and conquer, and they love running on this imaginary widespread feud between blacks and hispanics that was concocted for this very purpose.
Talking in real life to hispanics justification for their barack hatred (not hilary love) has been rooted in racism 100% for me, i dont know about ya'll, but I'm pretty disgusted by my peeps.

This is going to be fun.
LA Times ran a poll on this. The overwhelming majority of Mexican-Americans in the United States claim an overt prejudice againt blacks.
I think we should be encouraging the media to call Hispanics a bunch of anti-black racists. That will promote Democratic unity.
Basically Hillary is winning because of the hispanic vote. WGAF, because they said hispanics are supposed to like and vote Clinton like 1 and a half months ago.
I can at least be pleased by the fact that very few superdelegates are hispanic, lol.
So much fun! Can't wait to see Hillary triangulate this mess.
It works both ways, and its all bull . Classic divide and conquer. Every time I've asked a hispanic why he would not vote for obama, or where this enmity is coming from, it's easy to figure out that its all based on bigotry.
And that is flat out sad. The ignorance is what gets me, because I keep saying that if you look at the facts, they're almost mirror image candidates.
Most of Dallas and Austin are in now. With the latest batch of Houston votes, Hillary actually gained. Hillary is up 55,000, and I don't see anyplace left for Obama to make up that difference.
It's funny because I have interacted with a lot of hispanic immigrants over the years and I've never met a single hispanic that i found to be biggoted.... generally just good natured, hard working people
Would you expect them to try to light you on fire or something?
As opposed to Barrack getting all/majority of black votes because he's black??
Let's see, blacks voted for Obama because he's black.
Evangelicals voted for Huckabee because he's an evangelical.
Mormons voted for Romney because he's a Mormon.
Hispanics voted for Clinton because she's a proud Latina.
i did say this bigotry goes both ways
but
in this case
I feel that voting for a candidate because you are the same race is slightly less lame than voting against a candidate because he is a race you dislike.
Extra Stout fleshes out the logic in his own way. Either way you slice it, voting against someone for racist reasons makes me look upon people who did it with anger.
When Mississippi gets wind of this, it's just going to kill the fortunes of all those immigration hardliners there.
hispanic immigrants are mostly non voters, i was assuming we were talking about hispanic citizens here, 1st through nth generation.
That can't be right, it's supposed to be the white people that are racist. Get Jesse Jackson on the phone.
lol .....
L ...oh...frickin'....L
What's especially hilarious was to watch like half the Mexican liberals in this forum apostasize away from the Democratic Party when it was looking like Obama might win.
One of these days a latter-day Richard Nixon is going to develop una Estrategia del Sur to exploit this.
Barack's lead in Harris County has gone from 62-38 down to 58-41 as the votes come in. The East End is toooooooootally representing for Hillary.
Well... I am riding the Obama gravy train as far as it goes. I didn't think he would get out of Iowa because he was black. So I was wrong from the get go. In fact, I have been wrong about predicting this election every step of the way. So let me tell what I think will happen now. I predict Hillary will be the candidate. Which, given my current streak, means that Obama will be the candidate. If not... then screw it, I am writing in Ron Paul. Or maybe a ficus tree.
It's not like my vote matters anyways. Texas is voting McCain come November regardless. I might as well sit at home and eat marshmallows.
I guess there are worse choices than him. (Please, oh please, trust your gut and remember fiscal responsibility if you get to the White House, Mr. McCain! Don't be Bush-lite!)
CNN just projected Clinton as the winner in Texas.
