As a delegate to the Travis County Democratic Convention yesterday, I got to see the workings of democracy up close. It wasn't pretty, but in the end it seemed to work.
I arrived at 8:30am, stood in line for an hour and a half to sign in, waited six more hours to vote (or more correctly, to "caucus"), and then spent five minutes voting. Er, caucusing. Almost 7,000 other delegates did the same thing.
The result: Obama will likely win Texas, but the final results won't be in until the Texas Democratic Party state convention wraps up June 7.
