How do you know? If you are so confident that it is not fraud, then you should have no problem with an investigation.

Whether or not it “helps Hillary” is irrelevant. WHat matters is that if fraud did occur, that it is uncovered. If the investigation reveals this, create a complete overhaul of the Caucus system.

There is no reason to be afraid of investigation unless there is something to hide.

I live in Michigan, you can see the DNC wanted to eliminate States where they knew Hillary would win big. Obama dissed the State Party by REMOVING his name from the ballot yet they still “Gifted” to him 45% of the Delegates. I will be voting a straight REPUBLICAN TICKET this year, the DEMS don’t even deserve to be a Political Party in this Country, maybe they should try someplace that has FIXED ELECTIONS as a normal course of business

Ninteen showed up for my caucus. There were two young people I had never met passing out little round stickers for Obama ( i’m not sure of the legality ). Nine for Obama, four for Hillary. We had a vote for county delegate and I was elected for Hillary. There was the pricint chairman’s wife screaming in my ear we had to vote for the lone African American mand as Obama delegate. My name didn’t appear on the roll for county delegates so I wasn’t seated and an alternative was chosen. Two weeks after the county convention my pricint chairman called and invited me to his house for a planning session and he had the blue sign in sheet at his home. I asked him about it and he said the Democratic Headquarters didn’t have a copy machine and he needed to get the names and addresses and a friend there had allowed him to bring the sheet home and when I pointed our news reports a month after the convention all the votes hadn’t been tallied, he brushed me off saying “They have now.” I also asked him if the alternate Hillary delegate had gone to the county convention his wife said she had not and the man said she had so I don’t know if anyone went for Hillary. I didn’t file an offical complaint, but he resigned shortly afterwards and I left the party the Monday after the RBC meeting.

Unfortunately, I didn’t go caucus in Texas. Just voted in the primary. I know, I know…don’t hate me…but honestly, I didn’t think it would matter. I think about how unfair it is to my -once again I bring this up- 94 year old grandmother who cannot go caucus. She shouldn’t have to vote twice - especially since she was born before she even had the right to vote.

I did find this article from Houston in March:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/politics/5583761.html

So how does it work? Obama volunteer Sumita Prasad boiled it down like this: “In that precinct room, you want more of us and less of them. You don’t need to know math or formulas.”

bbbbut I thought it was the Obama supporters who are so much more educated and smarter than the Clinton supporters…

Caucus-goers arrive and put their names and presidential preference on the “sign-in sheet.” Ideally, they should show proof of having voted in the Democratic primary, but it is not absolutely necessary, according to the Harris County Democratic Party

everything about the caucus makes me sick. if a person wins the popular vote - which she did by over 120,000 votes in Texas - that should be that.

Susan,
Wonderful radio show tonight. I listened with shock as I heard the multiple ways the Obama campaign gamed the caucuses. I wish this would make it to the MSM. I have been following the caucus fiasco from the beginning, but to hear those people call in and hear their first hand accounts of the bullying, bussing people in, stealing ballots, intimidation, mocking people etc, made me so sad and angry. Obama cheated and the media has said nothing about it. Shameful. All of it.

I keep saying he’s not the nominee until he’s NOMINATED. Doesn’t that take place at the roll call ballot?

I’m not even a Democrat, so if I’m misunderstanding some rule, I’ll stand corrected.

Slightly OT: I have been at another website (it used to be neutral) jousting with a couple of Obama cultists. Are they incapable of holding a rational, civil, non-violent (verbally) conversation, or am I just missing something?
