...what the hell is this supposed to mean?
[reference] In training materials being handed out by the Clinton campaign, it is clear that they want to control those caucus sessions. The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles."
It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serves as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.
"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."
If her campaign materials say that, then what a load of crap!! This may be a weird process, but there's no reason that it won't be conducted fairly. What is their intention of making sure they are in control? To cheat? Gimme a break!! If I sign my name on something, it damn well better show up in the correct column.
Hope vs. fear
These words that were meaningful, wise and true in 2004, are no less so today, on the eve of this vote.

Come Blue, you know Bill only meant that when his wife was not running. Now that she's running as the candidate of fear he's all, "I didn't mean it."
about the caucus issue, I heard in Nevada that there were problems and shenigans too....I will send you much good energy and hope that Obama people hold firm...
I will be voting and caucusing tomorrow (which I had never heard of until this year.) A friend of mine emailed me and some others and was working in Obama's east Austin office when Michelle Obama came in and spoke to them today. My friend passed on to me that people will not be allowed to vote if they are wearing a t-shirt, button, etc. in support of a candidate. I had never heard of that whatsoever and I ned to look into it, but just in case, I thought I would pass that one. Perhaps, you knew.

I thought about this all day- please do think about reporting this to the Obama National Voter Center( on his Sidebar) .....this whole thing does not sound right....
There's an entry on the Texans For Obama Blog called "How to Caucus in Texas," and they do know about the problems that could come up. There are general instructions there with links to more detailed info.
