The most interesting part of the caucus to me was the second chance vote. In order to get one of the nine delegates in our prescient, a candidate had to get 74 supports. Bidden only got 21, a number very close to what Edwards and Richardson needed to get a delegate. Below is behind closed doors video of the discussion over who they should support instead. The politics involved here amazed me.

In the end, they all went to support Hillary. Richardson and Dodd's supporters went to Hillary also. That's something that goes against predictions of every political analysts I've heard talk on the subject. If Hillary can take the supporters of the secondary candidates in the other primaries, I think she could still win the candidacy, despite coming in third here.

I am a SMU student political reporter for FOX. I major in journalism and sociology, and have been a political nerd all of my life. I was the kid in elementry school that watched the State of the Union Address and took notes.
