Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both win Texas

Hillary won the popular vote in Texas but like New Mexico Texas has a two stage voting system. The secondary caucus results gave Obama a victory in the state Hillary has won the raw vote for giving a split victory. Clinton got a major boost in morale by winning more raw votes than Obama in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island (she lost to Obama in Vermont), an Associated Press count of the delegates shows Clinton only reduced her opponent’s lead in delegates by 12.

In the overall race for the nomination, Obama had 1,562 delegates, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates. Clinton had 1,461. It takes 2,025 delegates to secure the Democratic nomination.

Tuesday night Obama gathered at least 173 delegates to 185 for Clinton.
