I find it shocking and completely unacceptable that the Clinton campaign [...]

In a recent post, I pointed out that the MSM delegate numbers are estimates of election results and should not be relied on until they are certified. With that said, the caucus number shuffle started this weekend in Iowa at their country convention. Edwards delegates moved to Obama, giving him 25 delegates to Clinton’s 14 [...]

So You Think You Know The Delegate Count

Posted by nytexan

While the pundits talk about the candidates being tied and focusing on the super delegates, it would be nice if they were all on the same page on the delegate count. The limited patience and attention span of the pundits who can’t wait for the remaining 11 states and territories to have their primaries are [...]

Texas Democratic Party officials still have not released even a final unofficial tally on the results of the caucus portion of Election Day in the state. The results are hardly insignificant — the caucus portion of the election yields one third of Texas’s 193 delegates.

Clinton Will Sue Texas….How Dubya of You Hillary

Posted by nytexan

Once again, Clinton is faced with a caucus, something her campaign has not managed to win. What is their response to the Texas caucus rules? Sue the Texas Democratic Party. The last time a presidential candidate sued, because he didn’t like the rules, turned out to be a disaster for America. And now, [...]
