Texas County Conventions Tomorrow

Texas' county-level conventions will be held tomorrow. As I mentioned before, the Profesora are delegates; I plan on reporting on what I see. The Burnt Orange Report reports that a dirty trick might be up, that people are being told tomorrow's convention is cancelled. The Burnt Orange Report also will report on results tomorrow as they come in. Check the Burnt Orange Report page tomorrow for results.

All over Texas, county Democratic officials (I'm in Travis County) have been scrambling for spaces big enough. Here in Austin, we do have a few possiblities; the party here has booked the Austin Expo Center, also the Austin Ice Bats' home field. We've been warned that the Expo Center right now smells like its last gig, the animals in a rodeo.

Austin, as in my precinct, went for Obama 3:2. His style matches the city's well, and it is a young city. Tomorrow's work will be about the equivalent of something like 32 natl-level delegates, though over 10,000 will crowd the Expo Center tomorrow. It's mostly about turnout, I guess.

I probably won't post tomorrow, because I'm less of a liveblogger than a slow gasbag, and will be too tired to think of anything else.
