    No.

    Why the caucus system should continue to exist is beyond me.

    RRNYC, what you witnessed was actually a very well run grass-roots effort by Obama's camp to control the caucus. The fact that Obama supporters outnumbered you 2 to 1 speaks volumes in light of the popular vote.

    This is how he is beating her.

    I understand your point of view, as the opposition, but these activists did what they were trained to do.

    Caucus' should be banned. This sounds like an unorganized cluster **** waiting to happen. What a joke.

    Unruly Obama supporters do not make Obama less electible. He can still have strong character & integrity even if a handfull of his supporters don't.

    not racist at all. from someone that probably hates country music, never votes republican, and has tons of black, asian, and hispanic friends.

    furthermore it may very well be the first time at that specific caucus last night that politics has ever been involved with any of the following "yelling, screaming, and intimidation"

    bigtexx your a dying breed son. year after year there will be less people out there that would will make quasi racist comments like this.

    and just so you know tracy mcgrady that your probably a fan of... if you made that comment to him or hakeem with a little disgust in your voice they would probably slap the crap out of you.

    Wasn't Rocket Rich they guy who started a thread about being an undecided voter, but his starting post in said thread was just an attack of Obama? Is it wrong to think his claims might be exaggerated?

    and in saying what i just said. the whole voting system in the primaries needs to be revised. it sounds like a pretty close to horrible system.

    and horrible system overall with the date, and calender used with this process.

    I was an undecided voter before this week started. I've never voted in a democratic primary before last night. This was my first time voting in the state of Texas. Why would I EXAGGERATE this. I've never even voted for Clinton when I lived in New York. So tell me why would I exaggerate? Also, why was my polling precinct one of the ones reported with the shadyness? It's documented and I'm not the only one that has said that. So if this is how Obama supporters were TOLD what to do....THAT MAKES IT WORSE!

    They were told to intimidate and TAKE over!

    Not surprising, Obama is just as power hungry as Clinton as I said before. But that's not really a problem

    The real problem is how can the Democratic party has such complicated primary election system? That's way worse than what we have in the national election. Can we just do a nation-wide simple majority for both primaries and national elections?

    I think if either one can take the lead to fix the system in the coming days, I will be behind that person.

    As a quintessential Chicago politician, Obama sure knows how to deploy his Al Capones and henchmen.

    Listen, I know you Obama supporters are a little worked up after the losses last night, but claiming racism to any kind of negativity around the campaign is a tired act.

    You listen: I'm not "claiming racism to any kind of negativity", just the kind that refers to Obama supporters as a kind of Nigerian tribal anarchy.

    Unless someone else has logged in using your Username, this is not your first day on Earth and you might, therefore, have the ability to see why this may be read as racist.

    Racism is defined as: "Prejudice or discrimination based on an individual's race"

    I merely compared the yelling, screaming, intimidation and threats of violence to that of Nigerian tribal anarchy, because those same things can be found there. I didn't discriminate based on race.
