OBAMA ACTUALLY WON TEXAS!
I am a great admirer of Charlie's knowledge and objectivity and therefore deeply disappointed that Charlie repeated the media misinformation/hype that "Clinton won Texas". Surely, Charlie knows that Clinton only won the primary 126 delegates 65 - 61 and that the caucus vote decides 67 of the 193 total Texas delegates. The news releases of those votes stopped 3/6 when it was announced that Obama was ahead 56% to 44% after 41% of the caucus vote had been counted! On 3/15 clearpolitics.com, etc. shows that Obama won Texas by 98 vs 94 + 1 delegate to be decided, greenpaper.com shows 99 - 94 and even conservative AP writer April Castro shows 92 - 92 with 9 more caucus delegates to be allocated at the first Texas convention 3/29. Charlie could actually have an entire program on WHY the media has misinformed the public about this result that has helped Hillary avoid Bill Clinton's prediction that if she didn't win both Ohio and Texas her campaign was doomed because I believe it goes deep into how our culture, media and politics operate! Tom Daschle briefly mentioned the Obama win on the Sunday TV shows 3/9 but nobody even reacted!
