This is a call to action and my first diary so don't be to harsh! You know they say perception is reality. Tuesday night Senator Clinton was declared the winner of the State of Texas. The media narrative on March 4th was that Senator Clinton had won 3 out of 4 states including the big states of Texas and Ohio. As a result, her campaign was revived. What ensued was a massive influx of donations and the perception that Clinton was back in the game.
Why is the media still misleading the public about the Texas election results? I know we are so use to seeing the check box next to winner of a state’s primary or caucus depending on the state’s method of choosing their nominee. In Texas we have both; there should not have been a call for Texas with the caucuses still going on. It turns out that the media was wrong. Senator Obama is the projected winner of the Texas Caucus and likely the overall winner in the State of Texas.

I strongly believe by dragging this out it only helps John McCain in November. Had the media accurately reported the Texas results Senator Clinton would have been viewed as not doing enough. The headline story today would be "Pressure Mounts for Senator Clinton to Withdraw." Again, perception is reality and we need to change the perception.
It is shameful that the media declared Senator Clinton the winner when the results of the caucus were not in. It appears to me that the media wants to see this drag out. One has to wonder why. It is in their best interest to continue to get ratings in the so-called dog fight for the nomination. Of course the media will rake in more cash.
Please e-mail/contact the media outlets and demand they inform the public that Clinton did NOT win Texas!
