>>> CJ, you used to do better than this, I'm truly disappointed. I, too, am finding his once articulate and well-thought out (though often wrong) posts to be MIA.

Why don't you tell us how caucuses select delegates Taro?

"Assuming we divide our posters into two different camps, your personal one (including Ted?) and what at this time seems to be everybody else, " Ted hasn't weighed in on this. And I doubt if I am the only one who realizes that this is a bogus issue. There isn't a popular vote in a caucus. They only select delegates. People get in a room, there is a show of hands, the ones backing the real minority candidates are asked to choose on of the ones with the most votes, etc. So in the caucus states, you can't get a popular vote tally because one never occurred. So any attempt of claiming a popular vote win is bogus because you aren't counting popular votes in every state. It is like trying to claim victory because someone won the popular vote in the Midwest. Sure, you can do it, but you are just playing political games. You shouldn't get upset when someone calls your hand on something like this. Because you either don't understand the issue or you are playing games.
