Reply #92: Well, the 2004 primary wasn't a caucus, many more people could participate.

The caucus disallowed many people from participating. Yes, it was a Saturday, yes, people can argue anyone can go, but these places not only have a limited amount of room, but by being at a certain time of the day people have to give up their obligtions to be there. So that BBQ that they were going to throw (I know it's a bit cold there), or those cows they were going to rustle, have to wait.

People put life priorities over political priorities.

If it was a poll, Obama may have still won, but for anyone saying that this is a representation of the will of the people, I would have to disagree, as it is explicitly biased against those people who aren't politically motivated, and who, in fact, have other obligations.

Yes, it's about convienience.
