CNN explained the caucus wrong
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 05:09 PM by haroldgiowa
CNN just had a computer demo to show the process. Unless something has changed they did not get the realignment rule right. They showed 100 voters at the caucus and randomly placed them into voting groups. They then eliminated all the candidates with less then 15%. Then took those votes and redistributed them with the viable candidates.

Changed it to mean they got it wrong.

1. I've seen this too many times this year
Much of the media is filled with fools. Whether they are fools by choice or by chance we will never know.

2. Well, CNN has made a few errors through the years
like emulating Fux, for instance.
