So the Clinton camp decided that the best chance to stay in the game is to do a “firewall” of the remaining three big states of TX (193 del), OH (141 del), and PA (158 del). If she could win big in all three states, and Obama does not have big leads in the states proceeding she has a chance to stay in the game.
Well the Washington Post is reporting today that is seems the juggernaut of politicos on the Hillary team is worried about Texas because of the funny Texas delegate proportioning and partial caucus/partial primary rules the state has created. In their rules she could theoretically win the popular vote in the state and still lose the delegate count. In urban areas where Obama is expected to do well they have a higher proportion of delegates.
Thing is they have only figured this out now, just 2 weeks before voting? You would think they would have known about the TX rules by now and not to count on it to be a cornucopia of delegates that they were anticipating. Just goes to show that the most “seasoned” people in the game have no clue what they are doing.
