First of all, we don’t have a caucus, we have a primary.
Second and sadly, it is an open primary regardless of party affiliation. This means the dems do and will vote in the GOP primary and we may end up like we did in 2008 with McCain only it could be Romney this time.
We really need to close these primaries. Newt is running strong and I think Perry will do better than the polls say.
I can say that though I don’t get out much, the only signs I have seen with my own eyes are Gingrich signs though I heard there were a lot of Perry signs.
We need a really good debate before the 21st. Our primary is on a Saturday and I can only hope it keeps the dems crossing over from voting.
Yes, we have a primary system, but also a hold a county convention (not caucus as you said) ours is normally after the Primary on primary election night.
Received this a few days ago from our Republican County Chairman:
Most of you are aware of the chaos being caused in upcoming Texas primaries by the meddling of Federal Courts in Texas redistricting. The courts have set the final day a person can file to be on the Republican (or Democrat) Primary Ballot as 6 PM on February 1st, but as of this moment, the day you can begin to file for a spot on the ballot is STILL TO BE DETERMINED BY COURT ORDER. I am going daily to the Texas Sec. Of State website and will let you know the moment the beginning date is posted.
