W.Va. Democratic primary details

Clem Guttata at WVaBlue has all the of specifics on the selection of delegates for the primary.

A sampling:

* "West Virginia will use a proportional representation system based on the results of the Primary
for apportioning delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention." In other words, our May 13 primary matters.

* "The first determining step of West Virginia's delegate selection process will occur on May 13,
2008, with the West Virginia Primary and the Presidential Preference. This will be followed by a post-primary convention in June 13-14 at the Civic Center in Charleston, where the delegates and alternates will be elected."
