If you'd like someone with whom to watch election results, and you're an Obama supporter, head down to Scholz Garten – this place is nuts right now. Big-screen TVs everywhere. I just heard MSNBC's Chuck Todd say "Texas may be giving Hillary Clinton lots of votes, but they're not giving her squat for delegates right now," which brought a deafening cheer from the crowd.
You might as well get down here – it looks like this contest is going late into the night.
UPDATE: Oooh – NBC just called Texas for Clinton. That made the crowd grumpy.
