Texas Delegates Still Looming

They called the Democratic primaries and caucuses the "Texas two-step," but it is more like a long waltz as Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton continue the fight for the state's presidential nominating delegates.

While Clinton won the March 4 primary, Obama gained a projected 37-30 lead in delegates allocated by the precinct caucuses held later that evening. Holding that lead will depend on whether Obama or Clinton can get supporters to turn out again March 29 for about 260 regional conventions around Texas.
