4. Debi, great response in the other thread
I always liked the caucus and I hope your explanation educates some people. Sometimes I don't know how you keep from exploding with some of the comments made about Iowa. It's a sad state of affairs that people do not look at the primary to cast their vote for their candidate and not get caught up in the MSM's momentum bs and calling a winner before the primary season starts. I don't think people realize how motivated and active an Iowan who caucuses really is. It's much easier to stay inside a warm house.

I will be watching the caucuses on TV if they are televised.

9. I wonder how crazy everyone will get...
...when they find out that Iowa has a primary as well (albeit in June and not for Presidential candidates, but still).
