Texas' superdelegates show close race

A recent editoral in the Amarillo Globe-News likens the confusing mess of presidential primaries and caucuses to the debacle of another southern state, yet emphasizes optimism.

“The presidential caucus process that at times looked as if it originated in disenfranchised and disorganized Florida will eventually work out the kinks,” it said of the process that first gave the lead in delegates to Sen. Hillary Clinton then, weeks later, gave it to Sen. Barack Obama. The only certainty in this state is uncertainty.

The 35 super delegates in Texas could swing either way—nothing will be final until the state convention, to be held in Austin on June 5 to 7.

As of last week, a poll conducted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram showed Clinton ahead with 12 super delegates, compared to nine for Obama, and 11 still uncommitted. Three more super delegates are still to be named.
