Can you say Byzantine?

To anybody out there that has a preference in the Democratic Presidential Primary, I would like to remind you to plan on voting twice on February 4th. That is, after you have cast your ballot, (into the electronic nethernet of e-slate) you would be advised to show up again at your precinct polling place at 7:15 PM to stand for your chosen candidate at the precinct convention, or caucus.

And bring a friend. Because about a third of the 126 delegates in play will be awarded through the precinct conventions, where it’s possible for a candidate to collect the lion’s share of the delegates after winning as little as 15% of the vote, providing those voters show up to caucus in greater numbers than the other side has.

And then there the 102 superdelegates or “X-Delegates” who will fly to Denver in their VTOL Blackbird “X-Jet” to cast their ballots in whichever direction the wind happens to be blowing in?

Really, nobody knows quite what to expect in Texas March 4th. We’re not used to having our opinion matter. Hell, lots of us don’t even have an opinion of our own. It will have to be manufactured. The Texas Primary could turn out to be a total clusterf*#k, and we could end up famous like Florida in 2000.
