Reply #53: Excuse me, you're kind of makin' an idiot out of yourself...

[IowaGuy]

Caucuses are held in each precinct...most people live within a few blocks of their caucus and could walk (if it weren't so damn cold)....gettin bussed...what a joke...who would wait outside in sub freezing weather for a bus to get them a couple of blocks...
You have to provide proof of living in that precinct and be a registered Dem....when you get into a caucus room, pretty much everybody knows most of the people in the room anyway, or has at least seen them in the heighborhood....assuming a bus load of stranger could be buused in and provided w/ phony documentation of their residence and party affiliation, they would stick out like a sore thumb.

Each candidate usually has what is called a precinct captain that organizes their supporter for that precinct. This person has usually spent a couple of months going door to door throughout the neighborhood and has met and talked with nearly everybody...it would be virtually impossible to get a ringer into that environment without being called on it by your fellow neighbors.

As far as the so called arcane complex proces...it is really nothing more than choosing delegates to go to County convention on the basis proportional representation for that precint. It isn't to complex for most people that have actually passed grade school level math.

Sorry about the harsh idiot comment...but you are really speaking from an obviously ignorant, unexperienced and ill-informed perspective.
