If you’re as confused as most people, here’s a great link from CNN that explains it all. It’s an interactive graphic explaining how the Republicans and Democrats handle delegate assignment.
As the primary/caucus season comes to a close and the national party conventions get closer, the candidates will begin to use their powers of persuasion to convince superdelegates and unpledged delegates to lean their direction.
It will be interesting to see the continuing shakeout as Vermont, Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island contests kick into gear up on March 4th.
Are you a delegate for your favorite party? How does the selection process work in your state and who are you committed to at this point?
The media is distorting the Texas Two-Step Primary/Caucus. Citizens who voted early are returning to the polls today thinking they have to vote twice and then attend the precinct caucuses in order for their vote to be counted. They cannot vote twice. The lead-ins may be attention-getting but they are also misleading.
Yeah. Hopefully texas voters understood that their first vote was a one time popular vote and that their second vote later that evening after the polls closed was a separate opportunity to get a delegate vote. I was following the story on Michael Baisden’s show yesterday afternoon.
