Texas and early voting
Already, an estimated 600,000 Texans have cast ballots in 254 counties in the early voting period, which ended Friday; Clinton campaign organizer Matt Clemons says an estimated 30 percent of them were Latino, nearly 60 percent were women, and two-thirds were age 50 or older, all good signs for Clinton.
I don't know if Clinton can win Texas especially with a hybrid primary-caucus system and cross-over voting but that looks like a decent sign for Clinton.
Uh? Those numbers are WAY OFF.
As of close of early voting, the total number of early voters in the democratic primary in the largest 14 counties was close to 700,000. Misinformation by the Clinton camp.
Furthermore, geographically targeted polling shows:
DFW, Obama 58 to Clinton 35
Houston, Obama 51 to Clinton 41
Valley/Rio Grande Clinton 58 Obama 29
San Antonio Obama 55 Clinton 34 <------- This is an indicator of an Obama win on Tues.
Austin Obama 67 Clinton 36
Rest of State Clinton 57 Obama 34
Obama is cleaning Clinton's clock in Houston, DFW, San Antonio, and Austin. San Antonio is a real suprise because 75% of SA's population is Latino.
