Texas Caucuses

Here's a great article in the Washington Post on the caucus system in Texas. The gist of it is that, for some reason, the Clinton campaign just found out about how we run primary elections down here. Here's the punchline:

"Several top Clinton strategists and fundraisers became alarmed after learning of the state's unusual provisions during a closed-door strategy meeting this month, according to one person who attended."

Now, it's entirely possible this sentence doesn't actually capture the real attitude of the Clintonistas in their top-secret strategy sessions, but if it does and these folks are just learning about the "convoluted delegate rules" it speaks volumes about the competence of her whole operation.

Once again, this demonstrates how judgement trumps experience every time.

(I found this story alluded to on several different sites (Sullivan, Burnt Orange Report, etc.))
