Dammit

Rictus looks set to win Texas too... she's ahead with 97% of the votes counted. Check the state of the race, cool interactive map and all, here.

BUT, because of the way Texas determines which delegates go to which candidate, it may not help Rictus substantially close the delegate count lead Obama currently has. It also means final results will only be out on Wednesday (US time). The NY Times has however already declared Rictus as the winner...

Losing Ohio and Texas in the primaries has never been a good thing for a candidate's chances in presidential elections. The encouraging thing is that Rictus's campaign now seems almost exclusively geared towards reacting to Obama's. That's total loser behaviour, sore loser behaviour at that. Let's hope Americans can see that.


The Doctor.
