Reply #20: Caucuses are not a good measure of victory

[Onlooker]

I support Obama and support caucuses, but in all honesty if you're wondering how the majority feel, you have to have well funded primary elections. The more people who vote the more meaningful the result. Caucuses attract young people and political activists, which is great for change, but it doesn't tell us anything. For instance, I just read today that Obama won the non-binding Nebraska state primary by 2%, but he won the caucuses there by better than 2-1, and I guarantee to you that neither he (nor any other Democrat) can win Nebraska in the GE.

In other words, the map is a good political tool, but it's objectively meaningless. It tells us very little.
