As mentioned before, US expatriates are, for the first time, able to vote in a global primary, meaning that they get their own set of delegates during the primaries, which decide each party's respective presidential candidate. This particular event, held on Tuesday at the ecologically sound and coolly designed URBN hotel, was well attended. Computers were set up to help people register, liquor and hors d'ouevres helped people mingle, and Barack Obama's victory speech from the South Carolina primary was played on a big screen. Melanie McGanney was there and wrote about it on the Huffington Post. Youtube has a video of the speech here, and you can see some more of our photos here.

I is hitchin' up my votin' pants and casting a ballot for Obama. Hopefully y'all will do the same.
A vote for Hillary is a vote for the people who helped her win Florida (though it didn't count for delegates): The elderly and boomers both full of feelings of entitlement and scared of non-whites who aren't in their own neighborhoods.
You guys are perhaps a little naive about how your "Democratic" party is run.
Bill and Hillary already had this nomination locked up long before you guys ever got to vote. The "Democratic" Party has something called super delegates that are unelected. Their votes are procured through back room deals ad favors. Something the Clinton's are experts at.
They count for 20% of the vote, this is just the party insiders picking the insider. Just like the Communist Party of China.
This is just like 1968 when Humphrey had all the super delegates lined up and Bobby Kennedy was left out and all the "hope and change" crowd rioted outside the convention.
The Republican nominee is picked based on the votes he gets by all party members.
1968 is a good analogy, McCain is is similar to Nixon.
Um, this year an unusually large percentage of the super-delegates are holding off on calling their votes until after the primaries/caucuses. So it's not locked up just yet...
"The "Democratic" Party has something called super delegates that are unelected. "
Uh, those super delegates are Democratic party US congressmen from their states, so indeed they are publicly elected.
