Markos on the impending Texas caucus fiasco, from an unnamed source:

I imagine that will be the case in most of the polling places in XXXX County and probably most polling places around the state. Nobody is prepared for the turnout, and until several weeks ago there was almost certainly a majority of voters who didn't know about the caucus, and probably a lot of precinct volunteers who didn't realize there'd be caucusing. Ninety-eight percent of those showing up will be first-time caucusers.

In short, it's going to be a nightmare.

. . .

Still loving those Texas caucuses Obama supporters? More . . .

Here is a Hillary video explaining the caucuses:

Update [2008-3-1 11:56:20 by Big Tent Democrat]: I soooooo disagree with this from Anna:

The bottom line is this: sign in and stay. If it's hot, tough shit. If it's crowded, tough shit. If it's chaos, tough shit. This is democracy and this is how it works. People in other states have waited for hours to caucus. They sacrificed their time in order to participate.

This is NOT democracy! Democracy is the will of the voters expressed in an election. You should not have to "sacrifice" to have your vote counted.

I HATE the attitude that you have to earn your right to vote.
