Obama has re-won the Texas caucus.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

A few weeks ago I reported on how Obama won the Texas caucus. Somebody got angry at me, called me dishonest, and challenged me to report on the later March 29th caucus.

OK.

He won that too.

[tammywammy]

1. LOL

Yes he did. :)

[billyoc]

2. Thanks for the report, that's good news!

I see Sen. Obama picked up another half a dozen or so Super Delegate endorsements, as well. :hi:

[JVS]

3. haha!

[stratomagi]

4. So how many times does he have to win Texas for the

MSM to report it?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. "Breaking: Obama wins endorsement of racist state..."

"Barack Obama has refused to denounce and reject a state in his own campaign noted for the dragging death of a black man by white supremacists several years ago. MSM reports..."

:eyes:

21. Good one!

I like the "appears to have won" myself. "As far as I know" he may have won.

[damntexdem]

27. LOL! And how about the Confederate memorial on the courthouse square ...

near where he won about 60% of my county's delegates to the state convention?

It's not enough to denounce the state -- he has to go into detail about the localities!

;-)

5. LOL!

Love it. Bet that poster won't have the guts to respond here.

[Yael]

7. Thank you for your diligent reporting.

LOL!

8. I asked this back then . . .

Why does Texas get to vote 2x?? No-one answered me then. Why do they get a primary and a caucus?? Doesn't really seem fair to the people who voted in the Primary earlier.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. Why does Texas get to vote twice?

How come we have a senate AND a house of representatives?

It's totally unfair.

18. There are several states with the same system in place.

Anyone can vote and then caucus, too. No one is excluded. If you vote during the primary, you can then come back that night to caucus. From the caucus, you are assigned delegates in your precinct.

Then you go to your senate district convention a few weeks later. From there your district gets to figure out how many delegates they can send to the state convention (I believe every state has a state convention). At the state convention, delegates are chosen to go to the national convention (August, Denver).

Obama has done very well in states with the two-step system, I believe he's won a majority of them.

[Erin Elizabeth]

19. Oh I forgot to add something pretty important:

2/3 of the state delegates goes to the candidate who won the PRIMARY. 1/3 of the state delegates go to the candidate who won the CAUCUS.

Clinton did not actually win all of the Texas delegates, as the MSM would have everyone believe.

[Erin Elizabeth]

9. Yep.

I was one of 30 Obama delegates for my precinct on Saturday at the district convention. Of the six Clinton delegates for our precinct, only three showed up. We were allowed to send three delegates and three alternates to the district to be decided for state and all six of those ended up being Obama delegates.

My county went for Obama by a huge margin.

12. Thank you!

[Cha]

15. Thank you so much, Erin Elizabeth!

So how did you find DU? :)

[Erin Elizabeth]

16. Oh I've read it for a long time.

Never felt compelled to actually post until just today. The primary is starting to really piss me off, gotta get it out somewhere, LOL.

[Cha]

30. This whole 8 years have

pissed me off and DU has definetly been an immeasurable comfort in a tough school kinda way. Glad you started posting..we need you on DU!

And thanks again for your Texas Delegate work for Obama.

14. When does the State of Texas or the TDP make a definitive call?

You know, when is it officially over?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

17. I think there's some sort of third event that makes it official.

I'll be sure to start another thread for my friend when that happens too.

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. The state convention in Austin

June 5,6,7.

[Adelante]

23. Very good, thank you

:hi:

[WillyT]

22. DUer grantcart Would Be The Guy To Ask

He has this stuff down.

:shrug:

BTW - I believe there's some gathering in June for the finalizing of results.

But like I said, as grantcart.

:shrug:

[donheld]

25. Can someone promise me this is the last caucus Texas gets?

[blogslut]

31. No

There's the state convention in June. As for our Prima-Caucus, we're keeping it.

[damntexdem]

26. Yeah, but you're still dishonest, because he has to win it again in June at the state convention.

Which he will likely do even-more overwhelmingly than on Saturday.

Will I see you there?

[Justitia]

28. You bet your sweet ass he did, LOL. I spent 12 hrs caucusing Sat to make it happen!

My district went 61% Obama - yay!

:woohoo:
