Euless precinct was for Obama. Now it's for Clinton.

Today’s Democratic senate district conventions are the personification of an age-old saying: history is made by those who show up. 

Take precinct 1388 in Euless. On March 4, the precinct caucus elected ten Obama delegates and four Hillary delegates, according to Carl York, one of the Clinton delegates.

Fast forward to today. Seven of the elected Obama delegates didn’t show up. Neither did any of the ten Obama alternates. All four Clinton delegates are here today, as well as all four alternates (who were upgraded to delegates earlier today to make up for the Obama no-shows).

Precint 1388 just finished their second caucus. They were allowed to elect one delegate and one alternate to the state convention. Both are Clinton supporters. Obama was shut out.

“We’re all shocked,” said Andrea Lambert, a Clinton supporter from the precinct.

It didn't seem to have hurt Obama, but is this going to be a trend? Because if so, it could hurt him. It falls into an odd stereotype too, does it not?
