What's the scoop on caucusing in Texas and details.
Edited on Tue Feb-19-08 03:45 PM by cloud75
From what i understand we are supposed to go back to our precinct for a caucus which counts for 1/3 of the delegates. That would be terrible i'm early voting and i'll be out of town on March 4th.

1. Yes that's right
And it's been that way for decades. It's not something they just came up with. The reason so few people knew about it is because the winner in Texas usually won big and those people who participated in the caucus system usually supported the clear winner.

This year you have a contested and close race where every delegate counts.

Read http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=180x48514">moc's thread on this question. It's got lots of the answers to your questions with links.
