This is exactly the point the Clinton campaign has been making, that caucuses don't matter. Frankly, with what happened in Texas, we have at least one piece of empirical proof that this is so. Clinton wins the popular vote by 100,000 and loses the caucuses badly. The caucuses aren't representative of the Democratic electorate at all. So many of Obama's "victories" in states are really meaningless. They're not representative. So, even if you interpreted the caucus results up to turnout at a primary, that won't work because, the only evidence we have from a single state is that caucuses overrepresent Obama's strength among the Democratic electorate.

You would be BSing the other way around, but Hill is getting her behind handed to her so, of course, you don't like the system.

and using it to prove anything does not work. And I say that as a born Texan (unlike dumbaya)

I find it incredibly ironic that the first precinct convention (it's not really a caucus) I ever participated in in Texas was in 1992. I was a delegate for WJC.
Hillary had no complaints about the system back then.
