Quick postscript on a historic night in Texas politics.  Remember a few months back when there was debate about moving up the Texas primary so that we could actually have a say in the nomination process?  Turns out we had more say by staying put.  For the first time in decades our votes counted.  We more than counted.  We were absolutely pivotal.  Who cares about Iowa now?  Or New Hampshire?  Texas rules.
Texas decided the Republican nomination and it prolonged the Democratic contest, ensuring that Hillary Clinton will soldier on.  If I was a betting man, I'd still bet that Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee but Hillary is going to continue to make this a campaign for the ages.   She wins in Ohio, wins in Texas and she'll probably win the next big-state contest in Pennsylvania.  If you like drama in your political campaigns you can't beat this cycle!
It's always fun to be a witness to history.  This is one of those nights that I'll remember.  
Sweet dreams.  It's past my bedtime.
Rich

Rich, ya' done good. Always enjoy your on-air reports. There's a mature, common sense approach to your style and that's welcome in my house!

We're watching the qualifying heats and HRC won this one. She has to be extremely pleased with the margin of victory in Ohio and the fact that the Hispanic vote came through for her here in Texas.

The overall vote totals were impressive, as well. Big voter turnouts is a good thing.

You're right this has been an exciting primary season.

I wish the competition indicated the quality of the candidates. This is also one of the most embarrassing slates of candidates that have ever been put forth to the voters.

While the rest of the world admires our process, we are being herded like cats by the media. We get excited by the candidates just so we don't have to admit what a collosal mess our government is in. If these are the best that our country has to offer we are in very serious trouble. We hold Russia's process in contempt, while being to proud to admit that the exact same thing is being perpetrated on us.

Just think what the next president is going to have to deal with, and then put any one of the three current candidates into that picture. May God help us all.

RICH ON THE ROAD I am blessed with a truly remarkable job that for decades now has permitted me to see corners of the world, far and near. When I'm not on the road for Fox4 News in Dallas/Fort Worth, I'm often traveling with my wife Catherine -- occasionally on mission trips in Africa or Latin America with our home church (Prince of Peace Lutheran in Carrollton). My contribution to this page began largely as a Travel-blog -- sharing current and many of my past experiences in traveling America and the globe. I'm tryng, as we go along, to wade into a wider range of topics without getting in too much trouble. Richard Ray
