Re: Why the caucauses 750 votes per delegate vs 11,000 for primaries are unfair to Hiliary

excerpt economist

	And thanks to Texas's bizarre “two-step” voting system, which
allows primary voters to vote again in a Democratic caucus, she ended
up securing only one or two more delegates than he did. Mr Obama won
in the caucus, in which only about 100,000 people voted, versus 2.8m
in the primary.

By some calculations she still needs to win more than 60% of the
popular vote in the remaining contests to have a chance of catching up
with Mr Obama—a near impossibility (she only won 54% in Ohio). Mr
Obama is likely to resume his winning streak in the forthcoming
contests in Wyoming on March 8th and is certain to do so in
Mississippi on March 11th.
