One thing that will help her in Texas is that she has a strong following amongst Latinos. A quick scan will show that she's won every state where they make up a sizeable chunk of the electorate.
However, if Obama's campaign can build that sense of 'inevitability' by going on a string of wins, especially if the margins of victory start to grow, it might be too late for her as Democrats could start thinking that they'd rather wrap up the nomination now and move on to the national campagin instead of continue a divisive primary season.
