Lemme see if I got this straight.

Democrats went to the polls in record numbers here in Texas and more of them wanted Hillary Clinton than wanted Barack Obama. But somehow or other the actual NUMBER of votes going to each is decided at caucauses after the polls close and according to those Barack gets more votes than Hillary. HUH!?

Maybe it's my poor benighted Republican straightforwardness, but I always thought it was supposed to be one person, one vote PERIOD! Silly unsophisticated moi.

Apparently the Democratic Party has figured a way to obviate the will of the people in favor of its own personal choice. Verrrry interestink!

And of course, then there's the party honcho who declared that because a few Democratic higher-ups squabbled publicly that every Democratic voter in two states (Michigan and Florida, I believe) are to be punished by being disenfranchised. Hmmmmm. You know, I'm old enough to remember another time and place that very much the same thing happened with regularity. It was called the Soviet Union and every time the people went to the polls and voted for someone the Party didn't particularly like, they simply negated the vote and told the people "tough cookies". Looks like at least one of our political parties was there taking notes.
