Comment from another blog on the prima-caucus. LOL
I loved this comment! :rofl:

I'll weigh in and say that I LOVE the clusterfuck that was the Democratic primary/caucus process. Why on earth would anyone want to change it? There was voting, there was drama, there were hurt feelings, and electricity was in the air. WE MATTERED! TEXAS MATTERED!

And with the primary/caucus system, we're still the center of attention the day after the election (unlike all the other chump states out there who get used for their votes and then immediately dropped like a hot potato). Texas will still be making news and doling out delegates for weeks to come because of the inane caucus process. And, cross your fingers, we may even get LAWSUITS! That means Texas dominates the political news for MONTHS to come.

We've been in the presidential election hinterlands FOREVER. Now that people are paying attention to us, I don't want it to stop. EVER! YAY PRIMA-CAUCUS. YAY BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. YAY TEXAS!!!

1. OMG
That's hilarious. I think we should brand it as our primary name - The Texas Two-Step Clusterfuck Primary & Caucus.

Everything is bigger in Texas - even our clusterfucks! Yeehaw!!!

Cross your fingers we get lawsuits! :rofl:

I felt exactly the way that you did. Precinct 255 in Houston usually gets a handful of people. This time, there were almost 300. Miracle of miracles, Clinton and Obama backers all behaved and got the job done in three hours. Yeah, it was crazy and loud and people grumbled about the wait. But it worked. 17 Obama delegates, 13 Clinton and no one complained that it was unfair.

I can almost smell Houston turning blue!
