Obama And Hillary Camps Battling In Today's Texas District Conventions
Today is a big day in Texas: The Democratic district conventions, the second step in the caucus process. The district conventions will elect delegates to the state Democratic convention, which will in turn select the federal delegates.
The conventional wisdom going in is that Barack Obama will get enough projected delegates today to more than beat Hillary's four-delegate advantage from the state primary, thus crowning him the overall winner of the "prima-caucus" system. A clearer picture should emerge tonight, and we'll be updating when that happens.
Late Update: The latest numbers, with 31% of total delegates counted by Burnt Orange Report, stand at Obama 55%, Clinton 45%.
Late Late Update: With just under 40% of the delegate numbers in, it's Obama 58% to Clinton 42%.
Even Later Update: The Obama campaign has declared victory.
