At least it is exciting if lots of people attend, if not, everyone who wants to get to be a delgate,is one.

But if there are lots more people than delegates, then it gets good.

So-- Sub caucuses are announced. Richardson--Edwards--Obama--Clinton--Undecided

If there are 150 people and the precinct gets 10 delegates, each camp will need 15 people to get one delegate.

So if the initial count goes Richardson 12--Edwards--60--Obama--45--Clinton--33

Richardson's subcaucus is not viable so either they have to find more delegates or go elsewhere.
It can go two ways, SAy, they all move to Edwards. Edwards will have 72 Obama 45 and Clinton 33
delegate distribution 5 3 2

Edwards gets the extra delegate because he has the highest remainder.

So the Clinton caucus might have been smarter to send their extra 3 delegates to Richardson to keep Edwards or Obama from getting the extra delegate. Of course if all or most of the Richardson delegates were going to go to the CLinton camp, that caucus is better off holding on to their full 33.

It's very interesting to watch and to see the strategy
