25. The whole thing is a farce--- as was pointed out in the Texas forum

http://txdemocrats.org/grassroots/precinct_convention_results

"...the results are non-binding, and delegates are free to vote for whomever they choose."

http://precinctconventionresults.txdemocrats.org/election08district

Although delegates generally do not switch presidential preferences, party rules do not formally bind delegates to support the same candidate at every step in the convention process,...

I wonder how many people who voted in the caucuses know that and I wonder how many people will actually AUDIT the results to ensure that the people they elected as delegates actually vote the way they were elected to vote?
