2. Yes, they are Americans . . .
And I'm one of them. Democrats Abroad represents the interests of Dems outside the US (duh!), and we are caucusing this weekend. We actually get (I believe) around 22 delegates for the convention (between Delaware and ND, I think).

We caucused in Hong Kong today. Kerry got our one delegate. I hate caucuses . . . so silly and un-democratic.

Delegates from the caucuses today will meet in Edinburgh in May (again, I think!) and they will then do some other caucus or something to figure out delegate split.

I'm glad Clark (and Dean) were viable in Paris. The only viable person in Hong Kong was Kerry (both Clark and Dean were under 15%), but it wouldn't matter b/c for our one delegate it was a winner take all . . . couldn't split the delgate anyway.

3. I believe they are
Americans living abroad who have the right to vote.

There were some articles on the news about this yesterday.
