This is a documentary of a Senate District Democratic Convention in Houston, Texas on March 29, 2008. The Senate District comprises half of Harris County. In the second step of the Texas two-step process (actually three steps), delegates from precincts caucused to determine delegates to the state convention according to presidential preference. Contrary to what the mass media wants you to think, the number of delegates Obama or Clinton receive from Texas will not be known until after the state convention in June. In other words, we ain't done yet. 3000 delegates attended the convention. The usual attendance is around 300. A larger auditorium had to be reserved at the last moment due to the historically large attendance. 3/4 of the delegates supported Senator Barack Obama. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a superdelegate pledged to Hillary Clinton gave a speech to a disagreeable audience, most of whom are her constituents. Enjoy ! Reply |
