Measuring my Caucus

Here are the results from the caucus I attended in Texas

There were 356 sign ins at the caucus. The delegates were split evenly - 128 each for Obama/Clinton. Since we had an odd number of delegates (27) and each candidate would get 13 the rules state that the 14th delegate would go to a coin-toss. We confirmed this with both the TCDP and TDP. Lonnie Limon who caucused for Clinton called heads. The 13 year-old daughter of another Clinton caucus-goer flipped the coin which landed tails, therefore Obama won the caucus delegates 14 to 13.
