Vermont and Rhode Island cancel one another out. +3 for Obama in VT, +3 for HRC in RI.
Ohio will be a net 5-9 delegates from Ohio.
Obama will net 3-4 delegates from the Texas caucus, even if he loses the popular vote, thanks to the weird allocation rules.
We won't know they results of the Texas caucuses until this weekend, or maybe even next week. And in the meantime, Obama should win Wyoming and Mississippi big. So by next Tuesday, Obama's delegate lead should be bigger than it is today.
My thoughts...
If HRC gets any momentum out of this, it won't last past the weekend.
And don't forget Brokaw's report that Obama is going to roll out 50+ Super Delegate endorsements over the weekend.
UPDATE: More thoughts from Chuck Todd (1:12am).....
Hillary may win more states tonight (3) then she nets delegates. Wow.
After tonight, she has to win 62% of all pledged delegates to erase Obama's lead.
Assume small wins for Obama in Mississippi and Wyoming, and that number climbs to 65% going forward.
Assume Obama wins Montana, NC, and Oregon, and she has to win 75+% of the delegates in the states she wins.
Repeat after me: Not. Going. To. Happen.
It's all up to the Super Delegates, unfortunately. The big question after tonight: will they let this go on, or will they break big and end it? If Obama truly does have 50 endorsements waiting to be announced, that could be huge. If I were them, I'd start rolling those announcements out this week. Don't sit on them. Get these people public, and get them public now. Don't wait. Don't sleep. Make it happen.
