Democrats and Republicans abroad as delegates?

Recently, I talked to Jason, my USAF son, who is stationed in Germany and he told me he was going to participate in the presidential nomination process.  Of course, I asked him how and he directed me to www.democratsabroad.org

To my surprise, the Democratic National Committee has allocated 22 delegates to Democrats living abroad.   I wondered whether the Republican National Committee had setup a similar process and I located their web site at www.republicansabroad.org, but I don't see any indication the Republicans award delegates.

I'm interested to see how this works for my son and daughter-in-law.  In the meantime, you may want to alert your overseas relatives and friends to this opportunity - that's what I call it - so they can participate in the presidential selection process.  And if anyone knows of any other political parties doing the same thing, please post the information in the comments attached to this entry.  --Joel @ 2:15pm and 10:00pm
