Where are my Texans?

I'm on my way as soon as I leave work, Punzy. Will report back.

Okay Texans...and you guys in Ohio, too....I want to hear about your voting experiences!

So very sorry but my old granddaddy always told me never to discuss religion and politics. That way you never pi** off any friends.

Just drove back from Houston, dropped off Molly and headed to the CHURCH to vote. Spied lots of Obama signs in the hood. Mr. O had called here and reminded us to vote. I had to leave two judge races blank because I was an uninformed voter. , hate when I do that! That's all I am saying.

I wasn't asking who you voted for...I was asking what the mood is like...busy? did any of you have poll workers at your places for any of the campaigns? Are people you know going to the caucuses?

CNN is just showing the same three places all day, and it's irritating.

No one on the Obama campaign is posting cheeky hints that it's in the bag, so I'm thinking things aren't going well....

Hillary might make her last stand in the Alamo state

She was pretty desperate last night on the Daily Show.

I don't think she'll stop even if she loses Texas and Ohio based on what she said.

My polling place was very uncrowded. No wait. What I have seen and read here is that the Democrats are out voting the Republicans by large percentages. Republicans either feel McCain has it won and aren't voting, or they are crossing over and voting for Hillary. I am reading/hearing (as I am sure you have been) that the Hispanic vote is going for Hillary and they are voting. I don't know anyone going to a caucus.

Yeah, what I'm hearing is that among actual Democrats Barack is winning by about 4-5 points, but that the Republican crossover may give it to Hillary. That's despicable.

Guys, I think tonight is going to be...umm....not festive.

Then why are you in the religion/political forum?

I am afraid you are right.

Chin up ol' girl. The night is still young.

Punzy,

Most people I know voted early. Early voting has been very heavy. The local TV stations do their own "polling" and it has been back and forth by 1 point almost every day. Clinton has gained in the last week - ran a "red telephone" scare tactic commercial as a last ditch effort and it seems to have helped her some. Obama countered almost immediately with his own "red telephone" which was good but it hasn't run much.

Clinton seems to be getting more air time now. Maybe she whined enough about media?

Jackie's high school had mock election and 82% of those voting Democrat were Obama votes. It's a very diversified school.

There are more delegates to be won in the more populated areas such as DFW metroplex and Obama seems to have the edge in those delegate rich areas of TX. If he loses the popular vote by a small margin, he is stiil likely to win the most delegates. (Unless his supporters don't go to the caucus.)

Bill & I are planning on going to our precinct's caucus. They were expecting
voting to run overtime and for it to be a late night caucusing.

Rita

CNN just said that Hillary needs to win Ohio to stop the momentum since super Tuesday...I beg to differ...Its the momentum since SOUTH CAROLINA...:roll:

It all started here with Punzy!!!!!

Punzy....Just got back. It wasn't real crowded. Got there at 6:00 and I was home at 6:25. However, a bunch of people came in right behind me and I will say the Dem line was three X longer than the Rep line. They invited everyone to the caucus, but I am embarrassed to say I don't feel informed enough to even understand all that caucus stuff. Good for you, Rita for going! There were no poll workers for any campaign there, but could have been earlier in the day..I will be watching with great interest to see how it goes in Texas tonight!!

Y'all keep me posted, because I would rather gnaw tin foil than watch it on the news.

Punzy, I was talking to a teacher at lunch (telling him about my button! ) and he said that a guy who was in the military with him was in the Secret Service in the Clinton White House. According to this guy, Bill was just an a-hole, but "Mrs. Clinton is just pure evil..."

I think that in order to get back in the White House, Hill will have to sell her soul to the devil, and I'm not so sure that the devil is dumb enough to want her in hell for all eternity...

When are some serious Ohio results going to start coming in. . .the initial ones are scaring me!

From what I heard earlier, the Democrats are all suing each other to let the voting continue until the side with the better lawyers win.

Punzy--this just in. THOUSANDS show up for caucus. Some polls didn't close til 8:30. They had to wait til the polls closed for the caucus to start. Early results show Obama 51% Hillary 49%. Huckabee conceeded to McCain in Irving. They're saying the Dem percentages have gotten closer as the evening wears on.

At 9:46.....50/50

Local news showing loooooong lines at lots of polling places. Some husbands dropped wives off to go park far away at 6:59. Were turned away at 7:05 after they walked from the parking place.

Just got back. Big crowd! Our precinct went 21 delegates for Obama and 13 for Clinton. It was disorganized but there hasn't been a caucus here in years so it was exciting just to see what it was all about.

2/3 of the delegates came from the voting and 1/3 of delegates were selected according to how many people stayed to caucus in their precinct. Therefore it was important to go to the caucus.

It was interesting.

Texas now has about 32% in and it's 50/50 still.
