1. Is there any site where they compare the original caucus results with these, side-by-side?

[joshcryer]

4. The original caucus result site never had complete data.

We'll actually never be able to know the details of this vote, because the Democratic Party of Texas does not release them. Another reason I dislike caucuses.

[leftofcool]

5. Not sure

[joshcryer]

2. Obama better hope those kids turned out and didn't have anything better to do today.

Young people are known to be flakes.

[gateley]

10. And many young people are known to be

conscientious and committed.

16. Insulting the youth vote now

That will help your candidate. Any other groups you want to help alienate for her? Friendly little reminder; Bill probably wouldn't have been our President without the youth vote in '92, and by extension your precious Hillary would have been nobody.

[Benhurst]

22. Clinton people insult the young voters and Obama supporters the old.

We're on a roll! Nothing can stop us!

[joshcryer]

32. I am not insulting anyone, I am pointing out an interesting paradigm.

Hillary should not be so close this late in, so something is going on, the youth vote could be part of it.

[Benhurst]

33. Sorry, joshcryer. I didn't mean you specifically. There has been a

tendency of Clinton supporters belittling the young and Obama supporters dismissing the old. NOT a good idea in either case.

You're right. If this holds, something is going on. If the young haven't come through for stage two of the process, then it's an ominous sign for the Obama campaign. It may not turn out that way, though.

:hi:

[Pirate Smile]

35. Clinton people are challenging the Obama delegates to drag it out and make this as

difficult as possible. It was a concerted plan.

[joshcryer]

31. What are you talking about, "insulting"?

WTF is wrong with you people?

[still_one]

28. It's these so called "flakes" that are dying in Iraq because of those who voted for the IWR

The future of our country and the world lies in the young people, and all you can do is write them off

[gateley]

3. This has become REALLY close!

Last report had Obama leading (O: 419 C: 369). When I first started checking, HOURS ago, Hillary had a large lead.

Has it been back and forth all day?

[joshcryer]

8. This is the first time Hillary got ahead in hours after losing her early lead.

It's quite surprising and I'm beginning to believe that the youth vote did not show up for their very important teir 2 caucus event. Unfortunate if that's the case.

[gateley]

11. Unfortunate for whom? nt

[joshcryer]

15. Democracy.

[gateley]

23. Agree. nt

[leftofcool]

9. I think so.

No doubt it will switch again

[featherman]

6. Nueces County just came in for Clinton at about 2-1 which is

what she won that county by in the primary. Early times yet.

[Melinda]

7. Umm, no she doesn't, although they are currently tied w/17% reporting.

:eyes:

[leftofcool]

12. Clinton 482 Obama 477 in delegates

[Melinda]

18. Old results... look at database results link I've posted.

n/t

[joshcryer]

13. As of 4:45PM, 3/29/07 she does.

I'm surprised she came back but I expect Obama to surge ahead soon as the bigger districts come in.

[Melinda]

20. Agreed, it will be back & forth... look at the database results link I posted for real time results.

17. County Convention Reporting Database: TOTAL RESULTS

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pCVgf3tYDGBevq1NB-GJHdw

Oooh, look... HRC is ahead by .01%, or one vote, with 17% reporting.

[William769]

26. It only takes one.

:rofl:

So much for all the threads this week sayin Obama was going to kick ass in Texas. OOOps!

[dkf]

14. Latest spreadsheet is 505 to 504. Dead heat.

[Lisa0825]

19. SD 11 and 17 in Galveston Cty - Obama 60%, Clinton 40%

as I said in another post, I *think* that was the overall tally, but it could possibly have been the tally for one of the 2 senate districts in our county.

[my3boyz]

21. I think people were saying

that Obama had an excellent ground game in Texas. I know they had to know how important this date would be. I don't think they would slack off at this point. They would still try to get people in to this today. At least I hope so....

[Alhena]

27. Relax, none reporting from huge Obama strongholds like Tavis, Dallas, and Tarrant counties

and only one report from a Harris County SD.

[cooolandrew]

24. Only 16 percent counted. I wait patiently for the result.

[Alizaryn]

25. Great link, Thanks!

[wildflowergardener]

29. results

Can someone explain how this all works? There was the original caucus, right which Obama was leading significantly with a certain percentage of the votes in - do they vote again today, or are they just counting the votes today?

Sorry - we don't have caucuses here so I don't quite understand how this all works.

30. The original caucuses picked delegates to go to a second process.

We're watching the second process right now, these delegates will decide the caucused based state delegates to go to the convention. If people don't show up or vote for a different person then it could be bad for the candidate they were supposed to be there for.

36. Texas delegate selection - Third step of four

Saturday's conventions are the third step in a four-step process for selecting delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

First was the March 4 primary vote, which Clinton won with 51 percent to Obama's 47 percent. Clinton's victory in the primary gave her 65 delegates to Obama's 61.

Immediately after the polls closed March 4 were more than 8,000 precinct caucuses that selected about 88,000 delegates. Obama appears to be winning that step with about 56 percent to 44 percent for Clinton, according to the state party's unofficial incomplete count.

Today those 88,000 delegates will be winnowed down to 7,294 delegates to the state party convention in June, when the final 67 caucus delegates will be selected to go on to the national convention.

Besides the 126 primary delegates and 67 caucus delegates, Texas has 13 Super Delegates. The AP's latest delegate count gave Clinton and Obama 103 delegates each from Texas.

......

**Disclaimer** I only relate to you what I read elsewhere and hope it helps. I don't pretend to understand the four step process. It seems to be unique to Texas.
