SAN ANTONIO -- Texas Democrats caucused Saturday to take the next step in determining which candidate will get 67 of the state's 240 delegates in the primary election.

Four different conventions or caucuses happened around Bexar County.

Simon Gutierrez reported from Alamo Stadium, where one of the caucuses was held, but it was not as smooth as many of the people would have liked.

Many said they waited in line for hours just to check in, and they said the whole thing was a confusing and frustrating process.

"You're going to sign in, and you're going to do provisional," one organizer said.

Mass confusion was occurring inside the stadium as a long line grew outside.

Democratic delegates said they were not quite sure what to do or where to go.

"This feels like student council in the eighth grade," one delegate said.

Many who stood line for hours were told, when they were able to register, that they were not on the list.

"We finally get in, and I'm told I'm now a provisional delegate, which means my name wasn't on the list," Aceneth Medina said. "I am so frustrated."

Party organizers said they're excited to see so many people participating, but they admitted that they didn't expect as many people to arrive.

"It is a little chaotic because we weren't prepared for this many people," District 25 Interim Chair Angie Garcia said.

Delegates will vote to send other delegates to the next convention at the state level, where the process repeats itself.

As the day dragged on, some said they wondered if having caucuses in the first place is a good idea.

"I think this is just too inefficient, and it certainly isn't right for Texas. This is too large a state to do this," Delegate Fred Masinter said.

Others said they gave up on the process altogether.

"I'm going. I'm leaving. I'm sorry. I tried my best to be here," one delegate said.

Though some people were waiting as long as nine hours, the caucusing process had not begun for them.

As of Saturday night, the tally from 141 of about 280 conventions statewide gave Sen. Barack Obama 1,858 delegates or 59 percent compared to 1,270 or 41 percent for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
