I will be picking who I caucus for after tonight

I have seen Hillary, seen Martin (really leaning to him right now) and will see Bernie tonight..

Caucuses are just a few months away, and time to start digging deeper..Could I change my mind.. oh of course.. especially if my chosen candidate does not make the 15% threshold and I have to move to a different camp.. gotta get yourself educated before you go in there

The beauty of caucuses, is that you have to go nose to nose and know who you are voting for and why.

Some candidates do much better in caucuses, because they spend time on the ground and people get to know them

Some do better in primaries where people just go in and pull a lever and leave. They do a lot more of the TV and radio commericals..

President Barack Obama knew how to do both.. He was amazing in his ground game.. Amazing how his people organized. Just how he organized gave you confidence he could handle big things..

Looking forward to hearing how Iowa reacts to him. Seems like a very good fit to me.

A 'meme' some of us have adopted: 'Martin O'Malley listens, he's a fighter and gets results.'
