Breaking NBC News: Obama campaigns says Texas lost;, Hillary "It's a pretty incredible feeling"

[itsrobert]

According to Tim Russert on MSNBC.

Also a letter from Hillary.

"It's a pretty incredible feeling, isn't it? After our victories tonight we have the momentum, thanks to your will, determination, and hard work.

Some people were ready to count us out. But you and I proved them wrong, just as we have every time they tried to declare this race over prematurely. And we're going to keep showing them exactly what we can do.

We're going to do it for everyone across America who's been counted out -- but refused to be knocked out. For everyone who's stumbled -- but stood right back up. And for everyone who works hard -- but never gives up.

I hope you enjoy our victories tonight as much as I am. We won this one together, and that makes it that much better. Thank you so very much for all you have done for our campaign. Let's build on this remarkable momentum.

Thank you for everything you did to make this night possible.

All the best,
Hillary

1. why would they say this?

wouldn't it be better to have texas stay neutral for the papers tomorrow? the results won't be final until the morning, and they can still win the caucus.

[WilliamPitt]

The polls are closed. They can say what they want.

[adoraz]

22. well duh, but I don't see the advantage

all it will do is make the newspaper make this into an even bigger win for HRC.

just don't see why Obama's campaign would want to do it.

[bookman]

2. Although...

...that was an older memo.

[ananda]

3. Texas

I think it's close enough that Obama
can claim a good result in Texas.

What I'm hoping is that their delegate
count will be close enough to make Edwards'
endorsement like the holy grail.

4. doubt they know

I agree with them but I suspect they are simply trying to hype a possible win as a miracle.

[k8conant]

5. That was pre-election prediction...

he'll still get more delegates.

[Sir Jeffrey]

6. They didn't say this...

Russert was reading from the old leaked delegate outlook. He was using it to forecast the next 3 months.

9. He was just reading what that delegate memo that leaked after super Tuesday had said.

Interesting how accurate it has been since. except for where they predicted Clinton would take Maine, which she didn't.

[Hoof Hearted]

10. Wow. Timmeh?

I'm AMAZED, I really am. He HATES Hillary.

Oh well. I guess he's an all-weather sexist AND bigot.

[meow mix]

11. Tim Russert just listed of the Obama camp predictions for the whole campaign

everything was spot on they predicted and expected all of this. except they were wrong about winning maine.
they thought it would go hillary.

[Pirate Smile]

12. NO - he was reading the Obama projection sheet from mid-February, not the results from

tonight. Geez...

Did you notice that the projections had Obama losing Maine - which didn't happen, he won Maine.

[Imalittleteapot]

13. Russert showed a map of the Obama campaign predictions.

So far they have been on the money, but still come out ahead with the most delegates in the end.

[meow mix]

15. that was amazing

whoa!

[Gore1FL]

14. They won the night

It doesn't matter. Clinton did not make the gains necessary fro a mathematical win.

[meow mix]

17. this is a war, and obama won the battle. this prize is ours to grab away from the clintons

wow!!!!! were gonna win by force

[Gore1FL]

19. Obama wins now

There is only mathematical fantasies that could change the outcome--and they are fantasies relative to fantasies.

[AZBlue]

16. No, they didn't.

[opihimoimoi]

21. Murphy always said "Shit can Happen and every once in awhile...DOES"
