The dem cspan stream is much more entertaining than the republican cspan stream. Much more authentic caucus feel.

What the gently caress is a "spousal unit"

Is this the political correctness Trump's been talking about?

Old silly turn of phrase that isn't offensive or even necessarily gendered. See also "parental units".

As a voter who is deeply concerned with proper visual representation of information, I cannot in good conscience vote for Microsoft

Seriously, am I missing something or are the graphs on this website just offensively bad

Where can I find a feed for these candidates about to speak? What network is saying they're covering which?

I think it's somehow more fitting that Jeb!, rather than getting no delegates, gets one by dint of a rounding error.

I'm confused, I tuned in and got a Rubio speech with a byline on CNN saying he won the republican caucus. But looking at the numbers Cruz is crushing both him and Trump.

He massively outperformed his polls, and so is declaring victory. In spite of coming in at what looks to be a close third.

Trump is almost 70 and if he didn't have a the Michelangelo of tailors people would be worried about his heart giving out

Pretty sure the hair can take over for short periods, in event of an emergency.

OK thanks. A way around it might be to double the amount of delegates each place that earns one gets. Thus, there will always be at least 2, and so they can be split. Too many people?

You can't remove the possibility of a tie by doubling the number of things to be apportioned, because they can be apportioned between more than two candidates. O'Malley did get a few.

Microsoft could've integrated random.org's third party service into the app, I guess. But that'd totally kill the mood of a caucus.

Texas held a primary and caucus and it sucked.

The Texas thing was pretty different from what he's suggesting. They awarded most delegates by a primary, then had a caucus where they awarded some, but you had to vote in the primary in order to caucus.

Are you sure about that? I skipped the primary and participated in the caucus no problem in 2008. I even introduced a change to the platform to guarantee healthcare as a right at my precinct :allears:

My main point was that the delegate issue was different, but yeah, I'm fairly sure about the eligibility thing? Just going off of wikipedia and the first few google hits, but I didn't see anything to the contrary. Going for 2008 specifically gets me this U.S. News article, for example.

e: From the 2013-2014 rules available here

quote:

B. Precinct Conventions
...
4. Eligibility to Participate. Any qualified Democratic voter 18 years of age or older who resides in the precinct where the convention will be held and who votes in the Democratic Primary, whether early or in person, shall be eligible to attend, to participate in, and to be a candidate for, any Party Office or for any Delegate or Alternate position to be filled at that convention.

e2: I should have specified that I know nothing about the Republican side of all that.
