On the basis of winning slightly more of 100,000 caucus votes, Obama is going to end up with more texas delegates even though Hillary won the primary of 2.5 million. It makes NO sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-25485267324069320022008-03-06T00:29:00.000-08:002008-03-06T00:29:00.000-08:00I went to Obama's site the night before the Texas/...I went to Obama's site the night before the Texas/Ohio election, and the bloggers were all telling the Texas people to get to the caucus sites early and lock out the Hillary voters.<BR/><BR/>Sure enough, I heard that was happening the next day, so I wrote to Hillary's campaign. If they do take legal action about "change you can cheat with", they should get a hold of those blog transcripts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-3002979175121628482008-03-04T23:34:00.000-08:002008-03-04T23:34:00.000-08:00Also, let's not forget that Clinton has a lock on ...Also, let's not forget that Clinton has a lock on older voters. And they have the hardest time caucusing. (Along with working class people who can't get off work to go). This has always been the problem with caucuses for Clinton. Her base is the least likely to be able to attend them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-85161069792910355252008-03-04T23:27:00.000-08:002008-03-04T23:27:00.000-08:00Good stuff.

Those two states' voters cannot be disenfrancised.<BR/><BR/>And how can anyone now make a credible case that Obama would run better than Clinton in any key industrial state?<BR/><BR/>Final add: Caucuses are the most undemocratic voting idea I have ever seen in a democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
