I am in Texas and an Obama precinct captain in Houston. I can bet you that Hillary will lose more delegates Texas.

Obama will win Texas by more than the 3 delegates reported by the MSM.

Caucuses are a scam. Catch this...

...to set up an unnecessary, ad hoc "verification" process that could effectively disqualify delegates selected at their precinct conventions after the fact.

What does "after the fact" mean? "Selected" by whom "after what fact"?

FTR, I live in a caucus state. After our caucus (that they were unprepared to deal with), it turns out that 3 republicans were selected as delegates and a few other unqualified caucusers were disqualified also. I wonder who determines who replaces those delegates after the fact?

Most of the Republicans/Limbaugh Democrats voted in the Texas primary in contrast to the caucuses. As much as 1/4 of Hillary's votes came from them. No wonder Hillary wants to discredit the Texas caucuses.

Good for Texas. It is time to REALLY take the gloves off in PA. No one would have preferred this, but it is clear the Clintons are willing to drag the Party and the Country yet again down along their self destructive path.

I have actually come to believe they are quite a maladjusted pair surrounded by a bizarre menagerie of creatures -- sycophants and opportunists -- mostly who feed the Clinton narcissism. Thes are the Inconvenient Trutrhs of the Clinton Political Partnership that Hillary bases her fantasy of Experience on::

I'm going to be brutally frank.
Somalia.
The First World Trade Center Bombing.
The Cole.
These people were a DISASTER waiting to happen. Sorry Bill and Hill. Whatever happened to "The buck stops HERE."???? Any down chain commander would have been Court Martial-ed for Deriliction of Duty.

Their so called economic prowess, built on NAFTA that traded Good JOBS for cheap consumer goods over the short term, a dot-com bubble that dot-bombed, the deregulation of Banks Insurance Companies and Brokerage houses-- IT WAS THE GOD DAMN CLINTONS WHO SIGNED GRAHAM LEACH BLILEY in 1999 that set up the deregulated "Financial Supermarkets" that will have REAL people eating REAL, Rotten scraps of food before long. They are a F-ING DISASTER who did NOTHING but run from the GOP from the time they got in. They ran against welfare mothers caved to the Pharmaceutical Companies, Left their ownPArty in tatters after eight years.

How DARE THEY NOT RELEASE THEIR TAX RETURNS and turn around and SMEAR OBAMA.

If Superdelegates don't step in now and endorse Obama en bloc there will be hell to pay for years to come as a result.

Anybody in PA knows that Rendell is working with GOP bosses to flood the Primary in a backroom deal, is also using State Employess on the clock to work fro Hillary and is intimidating State workers with denial of promotions poor evaluations etc.

OUT! Let us drive them OUT NOW! These NArcissistic Hacks are not only terrible for the Party there a Disaster to the Country and our Real Standing in the World. It is our Position in the World that Counts. The Clintons believe the Masses are Asses, that Perception is reality.

Return to the top of this comment for a dose of Reality.

Having spent most of the day of the primary at my daughter's elementary school which is a polling place, I'd like to suggest we reconsider the reliability of exit polls as they relate to the cross-over vote. Watching voter after voter *not* stop to participate in the exit poll, one becomes quite aware of the self-selectivity of this process. While many cross-over voters of the more ego-centric variety most likely enjoyed the exit poll, I would venture that a significant percentage of cross-over voters chose not to participate.

Bush, notwithstanding ... For the first time in my life, I am proud of Texas.

OK, I have just one question:

CNN reports that just under 44,000 people caucused. Will someone explain to me how that 44,000 turns into 1,000,000?

My friends in Texas (Obama supporters) say the 1,000,000 is "unfortunately for Obama" very inaccurate, and that the actual numbers are less than 100,000, as seen in the CNN results.

HRC always wants to change the rules in the middle of the game. You knew the rules of the TX primary going in, so don't bitch about it now....the rules might not be great, but they are the rules.

Same for MI and FL, both HRC and Obama agreed to not campaign in those states and that the delegates would not count, but now she cries about it when she's losing. I wonder if she would want the delegates to be seated if she lost those states???

According to the press, for what that's worth, The Clintons did not know the rules in TX until late into the game. It seemed a good example at the time of how badly their campaign was being run. So who do you blame if you don't know the rules? It looks like they're blaming the state of TX.

If you read all the comments written by "indiex", it appears to be a troll. That is, it only has one job to do in this thread: to argue that caucuses are unfair AS SUCH.

We can see why poor Mrs. Clinton's support is so often concentrated among the less well-educated. It's hard to convince people who have any knowledge of American history that an instance of DIRECT democracy - a caucus or town meeting - is anti-democratic.

A sick mother can't go caucus. Well, what does she do when she votes? She could tell a friend of hers to go speak for her. Here's something that's not written on the talking point sheet the Clownton campaign gave the troll: people at caucuses often know each other. They don't just vote; they interact.

The TDP caucus tradition is mentioned in this thread. That is interesting, and would cause any reasonable person to reconsider the argument that a caucus is always a bad thing.

But trolls don't reconsider. They have a job to do.

Our job is not to feed them.
