Obama Wins Texas!

With the second round of caucusing in Texas finished, Obama has now won more delegates in the state than Clinton has.

Although the media portrayed Clinton's primary win in Texas on March 4th as being the final result, Texas has a mixed primary/caucus voting system. Now that the last round of caucusing has been held, the final delegate totals for the state have been calculated.

Total delegates won in Texas:
Obama 99
Clinton: 94

Why did the media give the impression that Clinton had won Texas after March 4th? Maybe they didn't want her to drop out. The media loves writing Clinton obituaries but they don't really want this race to end. They would have nothing else to write about; they don't want to spend from now until November covering the general election when this primary race is getting such great ratings.
