"Just words...just speeches..."
-some Chicago political hack

If you go by the delegate count, he won Texas, but the actual primary vote wasn't that close. As for the Clintons, yeah, nice speeches at the convention, but I notice a lot of her people are sticking it to the O'Biden ticket whenever the opportunity presents itself, and I don't see either Bill or Hillary busting a hump for the the ticket.

You should also be aware that there's a term for politicians who count on the youth vote in Presidential elections. It's "loser". That's been true in every election I've seen since 1968. Every four years we hear about how the youth of America are energized and ready to make an impact on the election (usually for Democrats), and every four years it turns out to be bullshit.
