Close Down the Caucuses

by Froma Harrop

One can assume that the people brawling into the late hours of a weekday night are not representative of your broad electorate, even in Texas. Compare the orderly primary vote in Ohio — where the results were known by bedtime — to the weird "Texas Two-Step," which pasted a caucus onto a primary.

Fromma, your thoughts on the Caucus system are right on the money. I couldn't agree with you more. Are you planning a column advocating an end to the super deglagate system before or after they hand over the nomination to Senator Clinton over Obama? What a fittng way that would be for the "Democratic" Party to reward African Americans for 50 + years of un-wavering loyalty. The other question is how will the Democrats blame the rioting that that will spawn on the Republican party? Oh, I know, "it was all those Republican voters who voted Democratic in the primary just to vote against Hillary " that screwed things up and made the delagate count a stalemate. This will justify the party insiders, the all seeing Super Delagates, to support the candidate with less delagates and less popular votes. You see, it's all about who can win in November against those evil Republicans, not about who Democratic voters decide in the primary who will be on the ballot in November. That black guy Obama can stay on the bus though, he just will have to go to the back seat where the director of HUD sits. Mark
