Texas Takes Center Stage: Democrat and Republican Primaries Turn to Texas

Woohoo, the circus is coming to town!

Locked in a death match, the Clinton/Obama campaigns look to Texas for the knock-out punch. The excitement is building...can you feel it? Are your palms sweating in anticipation? Is your breath getting shorter...better call a doctor...or a psychologist.

Of course you have heard that women are now swooning over Barack Obama;tearing up and declaring their love for the new "rock-star" politician. I am waiting for the stories of women throwing their underwear up on the stage...truly a disgusting habit of the rock-star enamored women of my generation.

Anyway, back to Texas, here is the Corpus Christi Caller Times article on our rather bizarre primary system.

AUSTIN — For the first time in 20 years, Texas will have a heated presidential primary election next month, a contest that will bring the state's complex primary and caucus system into play for Democratic hopefuls Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

"Texas arguably has the most arcane system in the country," state Rep. Juan Garcia, D-Corpus Christi and an Obama backer, told the Houston Chronicle in a story published Sunday. "There are a lot of people scrambling to get smart on it in a hurry."

The Democratic and Republican primaries in Texas are March 4. The Clinton-Obama tussle for national convention delegates is extremely tight, especially after Obama's victories Saturday in Nebraska, Washington and Louisiana.

The last time the Texas Democratic convention delegation was at stake in the midst of a national fight was 1988. Michael Dukakis won the statewide primary that year but virtually split delegates evenly with Jesse Jackson because of the state's unique Democratic nominating process.
