“”I have no bias. I am looking at the process. I live in a caucus state. We had a straw poll on Tuesday, much the same as in Washington. We still have to have our conventions to pick delegates.
Huck is using this for publicity purposes only.””
Why bother counting anything then? Why spend all that time and money if the numbers don’t matter?
I agree. I think these preference polls at the caucus are just stupid. We were told that we had to take our preference poll early “so it could get on the news tonight”. Funny thing was on this board when my state’s caucus preference results were revealed (60% for Romney), the same folks who are squawking now told us that it didn’t matter because no actual delegates had been picked.
I just think this whole controversy is a publicity stunt for Huck. One does wonder when the actual delegates are selected if those doing the voting (delegates to the state convention) will remember that Huck likened their efforts to the Soviet Union.
“Why spend all that time and money if the numbers don’t matter?”
Very little time in a caucus is spent on the presidential preference poll. The majority of the time is spent picking delegates and discussing submissions to the platform.
