The Texas Two Step

This Tuesday the battle for the Democratic nomination heads to Ohio and Texas. Obama has been riding the momentum train and hopes to keep his winning streak alive. Wins in Ohio and Texas will be devastating to Hilary's campaign, but if she does lose she will mathematically still have a chance to get the delegates needed for the nomination. Last I heard, polls in Texas where fairly even but the popular vote doesn't guarantee the candidate all delegates. The Texas Two Step is a combination of a primary which has two-thirds of the delegates and a caucus which has one-third of the delegates. The primary is from 7am-7pm and the caucus is held just after the polls close. One candidate could win the popular vote and still not have the majority of the delegates because of how the delegates are determined. The dual delegate system gives the citizens of Texas the opportunity to vote twice which has been stressed by the supporters of both candidates. It should be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday.
