I figure that in a state where there is one add-on selected at a state convention of delegates selected through a caucus system, one can expect (but not guarantee) that the add-on will be a supporter of whomever won the most state delegates. Texas, however, will be rather interesting. Obama will have more state delegates at the convention, but especially since Clinton won the primary there might be political pressure to split their add-ons. I was also wondering about California with its five add-ons. According to the AP article above, though, Art Torres the party chair who essentially gets to name the add-ons has said he intends to split them 3 for Clinton and 2 for Obama.

There are a lot of candidates, so we Obama supporters are keeping our fingers crossed that the committee members will concentrate their votes on two Obama-supporting candidates and avoid the possibility that a Clinton-supporting candidate will slip through because the votes are split.<BR/><BR/>Not sure how late the meeting will go, or how quickly the news will get out after that. I'm going to try to get someone to call me when it's decided, but I probably won't be able to get online until late tonight.<BR/><BR/>(By the way, "keith" above was me.)KCinDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07153981202251819626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-18024499765302128162008-04-03T16:21:00.000-04:002008-04-03T16:21:00.000-04:00Does anybody know when we'll find out about the DC...Does anybody know when we'll find out about the DC add-ons today?
