Politics are awesome there. The caucus system is fun. The first one I participated in I led/spoke for Reagan and he won it. The last one I did I led/spoke for Dole and Buchanan won it LOL. I can still see the little old lady that spoke for him giggling about it. I liked Pat on crossfire but didn't see him as a serious or viable candidate. I'm a pragmatist. Dole was going to get the nomination and I wanted him as strong as possible. If you don't win the general it doesn't matter much what happened previously.

The straw poll was a different thing all together. My last ticket was from the dole campaign but I think I ended up voting for Alexander (can't really remember) because they had a better band, booze and food. That's how that thing works.
