The caucuses are right around the corner
26 12 2007Over at MHCBUYP Bruce Carlson’s latest podcast is a history of the Iowa caucuses. He explains why the caucus is so important and lays out some very good arguments against a National Primary system. I’m not big on podcasts, but his are always excellent so check him out if you haven’t before.
And remember that here in Washington it’s the caucuses that determine delegates to the conventions, at least for Democrats. The state Republicans split up their delegates between their caucuses and the primary results, or something. For D’s however, you must show up to your caucus in order to make a difference.
In fact, if you’re a Democrat you should go ahead and fill this out for updates on your local caucus. And go and make sure you’ve got February 9th free so that you can participate. It is sort of important.
