54. you can find it as insulting as you want, it's still the truth
Caucuses are not an accurate reflection of the will of the party members. They never have been. That's why the party has been steadily moving away from them.
This election cycle - 6% turnout in caucuses, 29% in primaries. Those numbers actually mean something.
Take away the southern state primaries and Obama's obvious advantage there and he hasn't actually done that well. I'll accept him as a legitimate threat to win the general election when he shows he can win some of the upcoming big primary states.
