Nice! You are officially famous now, haha.

On another note, I have a question about caucuses. I did not want to start a vanity, so I’ll try asking here...

I have tried reading through a description online, but I have a hard time understanding exactly how they (caucuses/caucui/whatever) work. Could you (or anyone) please explain, or link to an explanation, of how exactly it is that they work. If it just like an exclusive club voting or what? I know it differs from a ballot box election, but I’ve never been able to participate in one.

Any registered voter can participate in a caucus. A voter attends the caucus for their district/township. Each voter is given one ballot, and the ballots are then collected at a certain point in the caucus. Ballots are counted and reported to the State Party. It’s a non-binding count of who people are leaning towards for President. Other party business is also conducted at the caucus, such as nominating delegates, party committee chairmen, etc.

Ah, thank you very much. Another question, if I may:

“Each voter is given one ballot, and the ballots are then collected at a certain point in the caucus.”

Is this why the angry, rowdy supporters do well in caucuses? Is it because they try and drive out everyone else out before the ballots are passed out, until only they remain?

The bright orange coat was a good choice. No one will notice your red neck next to it...

Its basically a group discussion...one group per candidate. each group nominates a spokesperson and that spokesperson tries to convince members of opposing groups to change groups. This is how I remember it anyway.
