For those that don't know about the Texas Two-Step Primary, we have a primary that decides 2/3 of the delegates and a caucus that decides 1/3 of the delegates. Supposedly, only people that voted in the primary can participate in the caucus but the way my precinct handled checking in at the caucus, I don't see how they could have any confidence of that.
Anywho, out of 17 delgates in my precinct to be decided by the caucus, 11 went to Obama and six went to Clinton.
Cool, thanks for reporting. Was it packed?
I couldn't say. It was the first time I went to the caucus event.
With two littlies, no less.

YAY!!!.
Silcon Hills? Is that Northwest of Austin. I am in Dallas today, I wanted to to get down to Austin for a day but I won't be able to. Love Austin, lived there in the late 70s.
Hey, thanks for the report.
What did the littlies think of everything?
Packed is an understatement.
two and a half hour wait
These delagate things confuse me; I thought Clinton won Texas?

Texas has a primary and a caucus. Clinton won the primary. The causus results aren't in yet.

I am confused to, someone on CNN suggested that the winner of the caucus gets a third of the delegates. That is not the way I understood it.
The caucus vote counts begins again in about an hour.

They were simultaneously excited (there was a large group of people) and bored (we were doing adult stuff).
