Texas Caucuses, The Sequel
"Todd", the addressee of the emails I receive from the Obama campaign, just got a new call for help.
The county conventions, the next step of the three-step delegate selection process, are March 29th. As we saw in Iowa over the weekend, delegates selected from the precinct conventions can change their candidate, and one campaign could squeeze out another delegate or two out of Texas if their peeps show up. Both campaigns are now working to make sure their delegates get to the conventions. Part of the note to "Todd":
We're getting ready for the upcoming Texas County Conventions, and you can help keep our momentum going in the Lone Star state....Meanwhile, if you missed it on Saturday, the Dallas Morning News reported the Clinton campaign is asking the Texas Democratic Party to delay the county conventions so that each of the caucus-goers can be certified, first. Part of the letter:Join volunteers at our Austin office and help organize and prepare for the County Conventions that will help determine the number of delegates Barack earns in Texas.
"It is the Party's responsibility to ensure the integrity of the precinct convention process by making sure that the Rules were followed...So far, the TDP is keeping the date the same.if the Party's reason for not ensuring that only eligible participants are counted is based on the fact that the Party cannot complete the review process prior to the scheduled date of the County and Senate District Conventions, the campaigns can't possibly complete this review in a timely fashion.
Therefore, we respectfully request that the Party explain to both campaigns what procedures will be followed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the precinct convention results and agree to postpone the County and Senate District Conventions until such time as that process can be completed."
You say that "Todd" is the "the addressee" of the emails you receive from the Obama campaign. I take it you used a fake name so as not to use your own. Who is the addressee of the emails you receive from the Clinton campaign?
Hmmm -
I mentioned this "Todd" situation in a post a week or two ago. I actually didn't sign up for these emails, because when I do sign up I use my own name and email. Someone must have signed up using my email address, or my station signed every reporter up for the emails.
