"the bright side is it's not that many delegates"

That is true which it would seem to make it easier to control the narrative. These caucuses are the lead out, they only need to have one come out slightly ahead of the other to try and convince people that maybe X could pull this off over Z.

You are right it sounds like a mess in the making. I don't think I've ever seen the editorial cartoonist do so many pictorials of democrats in clown suits, the circus is never ending.
