Why does texas have a ballot vote (primary) and a caucus (public voting???)?</p> <p>2. What's the path to the democratic nom being confirmed? (e.g. how many primaries are left, what's the idiot's quick guide to these 'superdelegates')</p> </blockquote> <p>Apparently they call it the "Texas two-step" in Texas. One of the guys who helped create it <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/points/stories/DN-molberg_02edi.ART0.State.Edition1.465ec2a.html">explains it</a>.</p> <p>For the super-delegates a bunch of people have gotten together to track them using <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a>. Their site is at <a href="http://superdelegates.org/Main_Page">superdelegates.org</a> and it looks like their research will matter more and more since neither candidate has a realistic possibility of getting the correct number of pledged delegates.</p> <p><a href="http://openleft.com/">Openleft.org</a> is a good site for poll watching and some good thoughts on the nomination process. Last night's <a href="http://openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4344">wrap up pos</a>t covered a lot of issues.</p> Jabberhawkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12596438879408721606noreply@blogger.com
