1. It.does.not.matter

The delegates WILL NOT be awarded until the State Convention in June.
What happened last night is not gospel...yet.

2. Oh of course not.

It never counts.

5. You are being somewhat less than honest

You can do a "caucus watch"...knock yourself out.
But are you going to do another one on March 29? The numbers could change...are you going to report them?
Then are you going to do a final caucus watch?
Or are you going to depend on the ignorance of the people to claim a false victory for obama?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. maybe.

Are those not going to count if they don't go your way either?

8. As I said in another thread

Everyone seems pretty entrenched in their candidate and I doubt that ANY votes will be swayed.
But in a primary season...3 months is a long time. There will be no winner of anything until then.
From MY experience with the caucus...our county went 65% to Clinton--but our caucus sent 5 obama delegates and only 2 Clinton delegates.
There is a definite disparity in the caucus vote and the primary vote in certain areas.
However...people need to understand that even when the caucus vote is 100% counted that obama STILL will not have those delegates awarded...not until June after the final caucus.

16. From my understanding you could make that same argument about other caucus states. They are

official counts and yet the delegates are not officially awarded until their state conventions. Is Texas radically different in this respect?

13. Yeah, tell it to the AP and everyone else

It's a big media conspiracy.

3. I read that he will regain 2 of the 4 delegates that he lost by last night.

No big deal. But it sounds like the Texas caucuses were about as crazy as they were here in Colorado. At least we had our counts in that night.

9. We also had primary voting...lots to count in a state with almost

24 million people.
