Greetings from Texas, A State Obama WON 99 - 95!

Remember statements that a certain candidate had revved up a stalled presidential campaign one week ago by recapturing white working-class voters. Terms were thrown around like "comeback", offers of a VP slot discussed.
Well, long after the media was gone from my home state, here comes the final results:
The Texas Secretary of State is set to certify the official election results for the Democratic primary. As predicted, Barack Obama has beaten Hillary Clinton. While Clinton won the state's popular vote, Obama racked up more caucus support, so that, now that the final tally is in, the Lone Star state's delegate total reads:
Obama: 61 delegates from the popular vote + 38 delegates from caucuses = 99 delegates.
Clinton: 65 delegates from the popular vote + 30 delegates from Caucuses = 95 delegates.
I sure hope this makes the news - unbelievable that they spun it like they did!
