Obama team plays a dirty kind of politics at my County Convention in Texas

Tweet

So I have just come home from my County Convention. I live in Texas and I was selected as a delegate in my Precinct convention so I went to represent my candidate. In my precinct convention, Obama had won 27 delegates and Hillary won 9. At the County Convention all 9 Hillary delegates showed but only 23 Obama so there were 4 open seats. There were no alternates present from the Obama team but 4 from the Hillary team. All 4 Hillary alternates were able to fill the open seats that the Obama members did not represent. We thought yeah big win for us. So the strategizing begins. 2 of the 4 converted delegates were not very participative and were making strange comments and behaving unenthusiastically almost to the point that it was uncomfortable. It was time for the converted delegates to go up and change their status from alternate to delegate. the 2 people who were acting strange went up and received their delegate card then went straight to the Obama group. Everyone is entitled to vote how they choose but these 2 people sat in our strategy session and knew how we planned to vote, led us to believe they were voting for HIllary and supporting Hillary and then went over to the Obama team and told them our plan. This is just wrong. The good thing is that we had enough people to win one state delegate seat out of three avaialble to our precinct, but this just angers me. I cant believe those two people sat and spyed on what we were doing then jumped ship to go tell what we planned to do. This, to me, is just down right dirty. We all carefully observed their behavior after they switched and it was obvious that it was a planned move. The delegate chair was an Obama supporter. she refused to have a vote process that was equal to both candidates. we had to nominate 6 people from each group to be voted on for the state delegate spots. We made a motion to vote on a clinton nominee, then an Obama nominee, then a clinton, then an obama. This way there was no chance that strategies could be changed after the voting process had begun. The Obama people refused to do this and rejected the motion. They made the Hillary supporters vote first, then they changed their strategy after we voted. One of their supporters told our convention captain they would be voting 10, 10, 5..which meant that we would win an alternate spot with the way we voted in addition to 1 delegate spot. After we voted, they changed their strategy to 7, 7, 6, 5 to push out our chances of winning an alternate. It was so obvious of the strategy change when they huddled up in a group and said plan B. unbelievable. This is not a type of politics I will support. I know that we as democrats need to unite when the nomination is finally made, but I just wont support these types of tactics and all I see from the Obama team is this type of dirty deeds. I just cant vote for him if he gets the nomination and stand behind my decision to just not vote at all should he win.
