Primary AND Caucus in Texas

Written by

Tony on

"What's unusual is that you still have two people fighting very hard to be the Democratic nominee for the office of president," Chris McCormack told the press. "That gives special significance to the very complex way in which Texas selects delegates to the National Convention." Texas holds a popular vote for a "Primary". The results of the Texas primary will be used to award a portion of the Texas delegates. A caucus is then held immediately after the popular vote closes.

Oh woe is you, Obamites! Rejoice, Hillaroons! Pop open the Champagne, McCainians and Republicans everywhere. By winning the Ohio, Texas, and ever-important Rhode Island primaries Hillary Clinton has shown that she's got some fight left in her (some of it coming from her own pocket apparently). Which means yesterday was a double holiday for Republicans who are licking their chops thinking about a Clinton-McCain Match-up after John McCain clinched the GOP nomination by crushing the Huckster four final times on Super Tuesday (Part Deux).
