For most of our history, caucuses were the way that parties nominated. And to me, saying caucuses are undemocratic is like saying that town meetings are undemocratic. they're not. they're the purest form of democracy. I'm sorry that Vermont no longer has caucuses. Having said that, I do think switching to an all primary system is a better way to go, much as I love real hands on democracy. However, Hillary Clinton never had a bad word to say about caucuses- until she started losing them. She's noting but a hypocrite on this issue. You know damned well if she were winning them she'd be praising the caucus system as the greatest thing under the stars.
