quaint, but no longer cute.
Make them vote like normal states do.

I, too, found it sorta quaint at first….and even a little entertaining for the first half hour or so.
But, the lack of organization and downwright sloppiness started to get to me…yeah, yeah…I suppose democracy is supposed to be ‘messy’…but it isn’t supposed to be stupid
I was a bit uncomfortable with the nature of the caucus – Voting is traditionally very personal and private – not public and broadcasted; Voting polls open for 12 hours or more – Caucus not until dinner time – seems pretty restrictive…especially if you have young kids or work 2nd shift
The idea that ‘if your guy doesn’t get 15%, you gotta get a new guy’ seems sort of f’d up – especially if it’s the first state ‘primary’ ---- 5th place now might still mean something…messed up to take away their ‘votes’ before we’ve even gotten started.
-So…move Iowa until late April…..let ‘em caucus…or not. By then, nobody will GAF who anyone in Iowa votes for
-While they’re at it, move NH, too. Make opening day a Super Tuesday. Get ‘er done all at once…winner take all
