So the Primaries are today

Do you know what a delegate is. Here is a pretty good explanation from Wikipedia. I saw a great breakdown on CNN but have to find the link again

A delegate is a member of a group representing an organization (e.g. a government, a charity, an NGO, or a trade union) at a meeting or conference between organisations of the same level (e.g. trade talks or an environmental summit between governments; an arbitration over an industrial dispute; or a meeting of student unions from individual colleges at a national student union conference).


Delegates from the major political parties are involved in the selection of candidates for President of the United States by such assemblies as a convention. Some of the officials involved in the process are called superdelegates.


I'm really interested to see how today's primaries turn out. I've been a bit disappointed at some of the comments/quotes attributed to Bill Clinton recently. I am hoping that he was misquoted but I doubt it.
