look - the caucus system sucks, and not just in TX. It sucks everywhere for the reasons stated above. Caucuses exclude people. That's why the turnout is so low. They are inherently undemocratic. The states that have them need to change - that we're having such a close race now is why this is coming up - yes - but that doesn't mean there aren't better ways to select delegates. Hopefully by 2012 we can have some movement to toward primaries in all the states.
It doesn't always have to be about Hillary and Obama!
