Yes, I do realize that, but she is ahead in superdelegates and they have more voting pull. Even if Obama gets the popular Hillary could still win it because she has more superdelegates.
Also there are enough of a Hispanic population in Texas where she actually MIGHT be able to pull that 60% off.
She almost pulled 52% out of California!
RealClearPolitics.com is currently my favorite site because they pull the numbers from a bunch of different sources and post the average of all the sites.

She just needs Texas to stay in the game and slug it out longer but she REALLY wants both to generate more momentum for her campaign.

I think they may be forced to switch to Obama if he keeps up this momentum. If he wins Texas or Ohio, I think he will be the nominee.

They won't be forced to do anything that doesn't keep the status quo. Being in politics and hearing somebody say that they are going to be the wave of "Change" throughout the government to some means that they will be put out of work.
Some people in power don't want change because the system is working well for them. Like really what's gonna happen if they don't switch they votes? The people will RISE UP and storm Washington. If we where going to do that we would have six or more years ago.
But yeah, all eyes are going to turn to conservative ass Texas for our Democratic nominee.

This is a big election and I think the last thing the dems want is controversy before they pick their candidate. There will be some clinton loyalists but if he has the widest margin I think they will give it to him because he will whip McCain's ass, Clinton might not. Obama is more of a superstar than her as well.

Yeah, but if its too close it will come down to the superdelegates and its going to be close even if Hillary takes Texas and/or Ohio.
Either way the democrats are just going to have to blow more money in trying to take the other out. As for the republicans MCcain can beat Huckabee with pocket change.
