Thanks for the Washington State materials, MM.

As I read it, the Democratic Party says it will use caucus results to allocate delegates; whereas the Republicans presently use the primaries for half the delegates, the remaining come from caucuses. And all this is done according to state law.

Can you tell me where in that you see superdelegates selecting delegates. I see it coming from the caucuses for the Dems.

>>Q: How will the political parties use the results of the Presidential Primary?

Political parties retain the authority to decide if they will use the Presidential Primary to allocate delegates to the national nominating conventions. The political parties may also use caucus results, or a combination of primary results and caucus results.<<

Ah. Well, that's as clear as mud.
