Interesting night. Obviously a bit disappointing for Obama and his supporters that they couldn't wrap up the nomination tonight, however, something to note is that CNN about 2 weeks ago said, "Hillary Clinton does not only need win Ohio and Texas, she needs to win them BIG. About 65-35." Basically they figure she needed to win by 30 points.
At this moment she has a 55-43 (12 points) advantage in Ohio with 92% counted and only a 51-48 (3 points) advantage with 82% counted.
Honestly, these were states where Clinton should have destroyed Obama. She won decently on Ohio, although by less than she needed, but simply squeaked by in Texas, if indeed her lead holds up.
