FactCheck.org has done an analysis. They've determined there's nothing to it.

Not surprised it was just a coincidence. It didn't look like that big of a deal to me.

When states break the rules and the party does nothing about it, then other states begin to do the same thing. Might as well just have a national nomination election, which I think would probably be best. Hold it around now (early March).

There's absolutely no good outcome to this because neither can win without superdelegates. Whichever side loses at the convention, they'll feel pretty pissed...and in particular if it's the side with the most votes and pledged delegates, I think it'll hurt the party in November. I personally will vote for Nader if the Democrats give the nomination to a person with less total votes pledged delegates. And that goes either way for me. I am a Barack supporter, but I do NOT want him winning through superdelegates if she passes him in pledged delegates and the popular vote.

LOL agreed. Looks like Obama will win the delegate count in Texas despite losing the primary voting.

He's currently winning the caucus by 10%, which would give him a 6 delegate lead in the caucus and a 5 delegate lead overall including the primary.

I caucused tonight by the way. It went 27-12 for Obama.
