Nearly six whole minutes of spellbinding information about
primary delegates in the American presidential nomination
system. What ARE delegates and SUPERdelegates? Can
Superdelegates leap tall buildings in a single bound or better
yet, wrest elections from the choice of American citizens?

A carry over from the days of the horse and buggy, delegates
still CAUCUS! CAUCUS, I say! Pull your fingers from your
oxters and put them on your lisks, dawn your ruffles and
powder your wig! It's to the caucus we go, so come let's away!

A cursory look at the delegate structure in its byzantine
glory.

Here's a challenge for you; follow a vote from polling place
to the end of the process in both the caucus and non-caucus
path.

Here's the code to share the video:
