I'll admit, I'm a neophyte in the political world, but this article is ridiculous. The winner is the winner...and the analysis of the caucus states provided is quite misleading; the actual number of voters and votes given to one candidate are not always reported (as was the case in Iowa). In my precinct, Obama had almost 3 times as many people voting for him as Hillary. Due to the complicated math involved, this is not always indicated in the number of delegates awarded from each precinct. Once again, at our county convention, Obama's seated delegates were in a similar ratio. At the caucus, we had over 500 people crowded into an elementary gym, and when they broke us into preference groups, every group left the gym except Obama's group, which filled the gym itself, and Richardson's group, which had 20 people who mostly switched to Obama due to nonviability. Let's hope that the Democratic party will do what the majority of people voting have indicated they hope for...Obama as our candidate.
