Obama Wins Texas (Finally!)
The results of Texas' byzantinely complicated primary and caucus election are now in and the candidate who emerged with the most delegates is (drumroll) Barack Obama. Although Hillary Clinton won the Texas primary election by a 51-47 margin that earned her a 65-61 edge in delegates, Obama's 58-42 superior performance in the caucus section of the "Texas Two Step" earned him a 38-29 edge in pledged delegates, thus Obama will end up with 5 more delegates out of Texas than his Democratic opponent.
