Commentary:
THE TIES THAT BIND-- OR DO THEY?
or, Politicus Unbound

by Richard E. Berg-Andersson TheGreenPapers.com Staff

Given all the turmoil circling the Grand Old Party of late, itself stirred up by the very real possibility- where not even probability- that one Donald J. Trump could, indeed, emerge as the 2016 Republican Party nominee for President of the United States, the headlines coming at one from news-related websites on one's own computer screen the other night were certainly most alarming! ...

Commentary:
CRYIN' IN ONE's OWN BEER
Where we now stand in both Major
Parties' presidential nomination processes

by Richard E. Berg-Andersson TheGreenPapers.com Staff

[C]ome St. Patrick's Day March 17th (by which time the numbers of National Convention delegates pledged to each presidential contender as a result of the Primaries held on Tuesday 15 March will themselves be fairly known and can then be added to those delegates previously pledged to candidates during the preceding weeks to create the newest running totals), one can raise a glass to one's favorite candidate for President (or, conversely, "cry in one's own beer")- depending on just where one's favorite candidate happens to then stand in the running delegate count!--
RICHARD E. BERG-ANDERSSON in his 18 January 2016 Commentary.

Yes, indeed, I did write those very words quoted above just about two months ago now... and here we now are on St.Patrick's Day itself ...

The Wyoming Republican Party groups the State's 23 counties into 12 Delegate-Districts: 22 of these counties are paired to form 11 such Delegate-Districts in which one county selects a National Convention delegate while the other county in the same Delegate-District selects a National Convention alternate (the counties swap positions in each Presidential Election year). One county (the county that has cast the most votes of any county in the State for the Republican candidate for the State's at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the General Election immediately preceding the National Convention [in 2016, this would be the 2014 Midterm Election]) selects both a National Convention delegate and a National Convention alternate (in 2016, this county is Laramie County).

TheGreenPapers.com Saturday 20 February 2016: GOP Presidential Primary in South Carolina & Dem Precinct Caucuses in Nevada
by TheGreenPapers.com Staff

South Carolina REPUBLICAN Primary

All 50 of South Carolina's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's South Carolina Presidential Primary: 29 at-large delegates are to be allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide; 21 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the state's 7 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates. (Note that it is possible, thereby, that candidates other than the statewide winner of the Primary might yet gain delegates from at least some of the Congressional Districts).

The polls are open from 7 AM [1200 GMT] to 7 PM [0000 GMT]

Nevada DEMOCRATIC Caucuses

'Viability' Precinct Caucuses meet in each precinct to choose delegates to County Conventions based on presidential preference. Voting begins at Noon [2000 GMT].

Estimates will, of course, be made by media outlets- as well as by the campaigns of the presidential contenders themselves- as to how many of the Silver State's 43 Democratic National Convention delegates each presidential contender is to be ultimately receiving as a result of these caucuses but no Democratic National Convention delegates are actually being chosen or pledged by these caucuses (the later State Democratic Convention will actually choose- and pledge- National Convention delegates to Democratic presidential contenders).

TheGreenPapers.com North Carolina Congressional Districts
by TheGreenPapers.com Staff

19 February 2016: Today, the North Carolina state Legislature voted in a new Congressional map (HB 2, Harris v McCrory) and changed the date of the U.S. House Primaries from Tuesday 15 March to Tuesday 7 June. There will be no runoffs for the 7 June primary. All other primaries will continue to be on Tuesday 15 March. Tbe revised filing period is 16 to 25 March. The Democrats plan to contest the latest map. The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a stay.

We are not sure if this will affect the delegate selection plans. The Democrats pledge their delegates by Congressional District and statewide. The Republicans bind their delegates statewide but elect the delegates by Congressional District and statewide.

Commentary:
BEING THERE
From Iowa to New Hampshire '16

by Richard E. Berg-Andersson TheGreenPapers.com Staff

There is an old saying in Sports: Act like you've been there before!

Coming out of Iowa and on to New Hampshire, we saw the still front-runners in national poll numbers from each Major Party at least somewhat violate that very precept.

In the case of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it was so important for her to have won the Iowa Democratic Caucuses (and, at the same time, try to not allow Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to claim even a "moral victory") that the word came forth- right in the midst of the caucus results still coming in last Monday night- that she had, indeed, so ....

Iowa DEMOCRATIC PARTY Caucuses

Democratic Party Caucuses meet in each precinct at 7 PM Central Time [0100 GMT, 2 Feb]. Each Precinct Caucus chooses the precinct's delegate(s) to the County Convention of the county within which the precinct is located based on presidential preference. Estimates will, of course, be made by media outlets- as well as by the campaigns of the presidential contenders themselves- as to how many of the Hawkeye State's 52 Democratic National Convention delegates each presidential contender is to be ultimately receiving as a result of these caucuses but no Democratic National Convention delegates are actually being chosen or pledged by these caucuses (the precinct delegates to the later County Conventions will carry their respective presidential preferences- as so expressed at their respective precincts' caucuses- with them as they go on to choose their county's delegates to both Congressional District Conventions and the Iowa State Convention [it is these even later Congressional District and State Conventions that will actually choose- and pledge- National Convention delegates to Democratic presidential contenders]).


Iowa REPUBLICAN PARTY Caucuses

Republican Party Caucuses meet in each precinct at 7 PM Central Time [0100 GMT, 2 Feb]. Each Precinct Caucus chooses the precinct's delegate(s) to the County Convention within which the precinct is located and also conducts a Presidential Poll by secret ballot. 27 Republican National Convention delegates are proportionally distributed among presidential contenders based on the statewide vote resulting from this Presidential Poll.
