Awarded isn't really the right word, but I hope to justify the headline.
Do to the fact that Texas' Primary Election has been pushed back to May 29th, Democratic Party has decided to hold County Conventions or Caucuses on Saturday April 21st.
The Republican Party had some Conventions on the 14th but most of theirs will also be on the 21st.
These will be used to select delegates to their respective State Conventions. The Democratic Party is allocating their Pledged Delegates based on the turnout at next Saturday's Conventions and The State Convention.
The Republican's are selecting their pledged delegates based on the primary numbers unless Ron Paul's Army wins an unexpected victory.
You can check the Texas Democratic Party's Delegate selection plan.
Texas will use a proportional representation system based on the results of county/senatorial district conventions and a state convention for apportioning delegates to the 2012 Democratic National Convention. This Plan allocates senatorial district level delegates based on the presidential preferences expressed by participants on sign-in sheets at the county/senatorial district conventions, and it allocates pledged party leader and elected official delegates and at-large delegates and alternates based on the presidential preference expressed by delegates on the sign-in sheets at the State Convention.
I doubt President Obama has to worry about the only other candidates who have qualified for delegates.
John Wolfe (pro Occupy Wall Street),
Bob Ely (he'll give everyone a job and raise taxes), and
Darcy G. Richardson (anti-war, anti-Wall-Street, pro-Occupy, government isn’t the enemy) don't appear to have any organization within the State. Randall Terry won't be getting any delegates.
The Republican Party will base their delegate allocation based on the Congressional district totals from the May 29 Primary election.
There is a minimal chance that Ron Paul's army can gain control of their State Convention and change the delegate selection rules or put Ron Paul's supporters into the pledged slots for other candidates. Texas doesn't bind any of it's delegates. The few sites I saw with reports from last Saturday's conventions showed that Ron Paul's people over performed their expected delegate allocations to the State Convention, but it didn't appear that there were enough of them to change anything, but two of my sons (the pot-head and the 2%er) still have hope for their candidate.
