The Field Projects Obama Winner of Texas Conventions
The numbers keep rolling in over at
Burnt Orange Report.
The Field projects Obama to win today’s Democratic conventions in Texas by a comfortable margin which will give him an advance of between 9 and 11 Democratic National Convention delegates when all is said and done.
Of the 4,407 state convention delegates yet to be determined, 893 will come from Dallas (where Obama is so far winning 65 percent of the votes) and from Houston (where Obama is so far winning 75 percent of the votes). Other key Obama strongholds are yet to come in, and together outnumber the Clinton strongholds (San Antonio, El Paso and others) yet to be counted.
Essentially, Obama is outperforming throughout the state except for in the (largely counted) Rio Grande Valley region and in the northernmost parts of the Texan Panhandle, where Clinton has overperformed. But the math should guarantee a victory for Obama when the tallies are all in.
At midnight, with 72.31 percent of all state convention delegates selected:
Obama: 3,106 (56.03 percent)
Clinton: 2,437 (43.97 percent)
We’ll continue updating on Sunday.
