It turns out that according to CNN (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/11/caucus-win-gives-obama-more-texas-delegates-than-clinton/) Obama won Texas 99 to 94. According to RCP (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html), 98 to 95.
So for March it's exactly a tie in terms of delegates (By RCP's count). Clinton's victories in Ohio and Rhode Island are offset by Obama's in Texas, Wyoming, Vermont and Mississippi.

Also, Obama has now won in 26 states by popular vote (27 by delegate with 2 ties), as well as 1 district, 1 territory and Democrats Abroad. So that's already more than half the states.

Technically Obama won Texas, but the MSM and the Billary Campaign are still going with her winning because she won the primary.

That said, I noticed CNN did have the state of texas is a striped pattern during the Mississippi primary, indicating it was split.
