Becoming a Delegate

The blockquote below is from a recent e-mail sent out by the Texas Democratic Party and gives a quick overview of the process and more details can be found in a PDF file on the TDP website.
Becoming a National Delegate isn't all that complicated. The important things to remember are that you need to vote in the Democratic Primary, fill out and submit a candidacy form to the TDP between April 21 and May 21, then be elected as a delegate at the State Democratic Convention this June in Austin. The process all starts on Primary Day, March 4th. Don't forget to vote in the Democratic primary and attend your precinct convention, which is held at the same place where you vote on Election Day and begins at 7:15pm.

PS Esti and I were both encouraged by the large turnout in the Iowa Caucuses and hope that a record number of people are going to the polls in NH today. Personally, I didn't expect Edwards to get more votes than H. Clinton. Her third place finish in Iowa was rather shocking to me. As to her emotional remarks yesterday, I do hope that was her being authentic - if so, then I appreciate that, but if it was some calculated appeal for votes and all an act - and I sure hope it wasn't, but if it was and that came out, then it wouldn't help her win my vote (which is currently leaning towards someone else anyway).
