This is more for choosing delegates for convention and approving planks.

most people never hear about the non-presidential years.

Step one in the process of getting delegates for the state convention.
May be important this year if no candidate gets 35% in the primary for governor. If not, the the convention makes the selection.

Please be sure to insult Minnesota tomorrow since they have their caucuses tomorrow night.

I felt guilty, but I was so freaking tired from shoveling that there was no way.

I really don't like the caucus system, but it is not up to me to change it.
The reason we have it is because New Hampshire refuses to ever step aside as the first primary. So we can be first only if we don't have a primary.

As I have said before there ought to be some kind of a rotating primary system where a group of ten or so states is first every 20 years or so. I have come to believe that anything that brings money into any state will never change.

I really thought the caucuses would be gone by now, just like I thought we'd have universal health care by 2010. Well, I will keep dreaming.

I still miss her fire and brimstone caucus defense. and most all of her other posts.

even with the snow.

Also had ten platform plank forms. That was pretty good.

Even saw some new faces this time.

the primary and the election in Nov.

People want to be involved and they want to change what is happening.

All hands on deck to make a wave happen.
