She is the one who uses &quot;Hillary.&quot; The news reports do use &quot;Senator Clinton&quot; and &quot;Sentator Obama&quot; in their first reference.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhyKeepSayingHillaryTexas/zxcpb/post.htm#487516Thu, 26 Feb 2009 09:17:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:487516Akavall1http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhyKeepSayingHillaryTexas/zxcpb/post.htm#487516http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-487516.xmlIn politics, win is an ambiguous concept! I imagine the definition of win that the reporters were using involved the popular vote, not the delegate count. This could very well be true, but the reporters should&#39;ve been more specific. Since the most important issue is the delegate count, my automatic assumption is that a candidate who got more delegates in a state won it. To me something like, &quot;after winning Texas and Ohio..&quot; sounds like Hillary won more delegates in Ohio and in Texas, which is misleading. They should&#39;ve just said, &quot;after winning primaries in Texas and Ohio&quot;. By the way, why do you compare one candidate&#39;s first name to the other&#39;s last name.

A lot of people do that and it puzzles me. It seems it should be Obama and Clinton or Barack and Hillary. CJ Maybe it is because when I hear Clinton, I always imagine Bill Clinton. And maybe because Hillary is so &quot;Hil(l)arious&quot; - in a positive sense of the word.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhyKeepSayingHillaryTexas/zxcpb/post.htm#487272Thu, 26 Feb 2009 09:17:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:487272CalifJim3http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhyKeepSayingHillaryTexas/zxcpb/post.htm#487272http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-487272.xmlIn politics, win is an ambiguous concept!

Hillary won Texas the primary with 65 delegates to Obama&#39;s 61, but she lost the caucus 29-38. Therefore, the total delegate score from Texas is Hillary: 94; Obama: 99. Obama won Texas--not Hillary.
