This morning we gave you the latest delegate hard count from NBC, which gave Hillary Clinton a 46-34 delegate edge on the Texas primary, with 46 delegates yet to be allocated. As it turns out, the Texas Secretary of State site has a more up-to-date count based on the totals in the state Senate districts, and Hillary's edge is much closer in their numbers.

With all 126 delegates estimated by the state's site, it's 65 for Hillary to 61 for Obama — a +4 edge for Hillary compared to the ongoing +12 estimate that NBC currently has, assuming the Texas state site's calculations are accurate.

In Rhode Island, Hillary won a 13-8 advantage, while Obama got a 9-6 win in Vermont. NBC currently has Ohio at 73-62 for Hillary, with six delegates left to be assigned. That gives Hillary a net advantage of +17 for the night, without the Texas caucus results factored in. Assuming Obama wins the caucus, this would trim Hillary's lead slightly, potentially leaving her around +10.

Late Update: Using the Ohio Secretary of State's district-by-district numbers, combined with this delegate calculator at BuckeyeStateBlog, Hillary Clinton ends up with 74 delegates to Barack Obama's 65 delegates, with two more delegates up in the air. That would put Hillary at +9 in Ohio, down from NBC's current +11, and +15 overall before the Texas caucus results are known.

At a rally today in Providence, Rhode Island, Hillary Clinton didn't withhold her contempt for Barack Obama's message, working the crowd into laughter through mockery of Obama as hopelessly naive: "Now, I could stand up here and say, let's just get everybody together, let's get unified — the sky will open the light will come down, Celestial choirs will be singing, and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect!"

"Maybe I’m just lived a little long but I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be," she said. "You are not going to wave a magic wand and have the special interests disappear!"

Rhode Island might not end up joining the February 5 national primary, after all. Governor Don Carcieri, a Republican, has vetoed a bill from the overwhelmingly Democratic legislature to move their primary, currently scheduled for March 4, up to February 5.

Carcieri based his veto on the argument that changing the date at this juncture would cause too much of an inconvenience for local election boards to administer it properly.

A key backer of the bill conceded that it is probably too late to handle an override. Carcieri's office had previously signaled that he would not veto it.

Yet another state is set to enter the February 5 national primary. Rhode Island legislators voted yesterday to move their primary from March 4 to the new date.

The office of Governor Don Carcieri, a Republican, has indicated that he will not veto the bill.
