CNN projects that Obama won Texas

Submitted by lucidity on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 9:20am.

CNN:

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has won the Texas Democratic caucuses and will get more delegates out of the state than his rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, who won the state's primary, according to CNN estimates. [...]

After a comprehensive review of these results, CNN estimates that Obama won more support from Texas caucus-goers than Clinton. Based on the state party's tally, Obama's caucus victory translates into 38 national convention delegates, compared to 29 for Clinton.

And though Clinton won more delegates than Obama in the primary, 65 to 61, Obama's wider delegate margin in the caucuses gives him the overall statewide delegate lead, 99 to 94 — or once superdelegate endorsements are factored in, 109 to 106.

If you missed last year's DFA Training Academy in Salt Lake City (or if you did attend but want a refresher), you can now view this training online. The videotape was made earlier this month in California, but it's the same course that was offered in Salt Lake City last year.

DFA also put its Night School courses online:

And the DNC has a video for its Neighborhood Leader program To sign up to be a Neighborhood Leader, contact caxford@utdemocrats.org.
