Someone who somehow is of the opinion that his beliefs are more important than anyone else's beliefs.

I am sick and tired of people thinking that my state is Loon(ie) Tunes just because Bachmann is a Rep. She is a Rep of the area that a lot of rich people live in, but she is not, she is most definitely not representing Minnesota.

I live in CD-5 and Ellison is my rep. I couldn't be happier that he is. So many people pile on MN because of BS Bachmann, but they forget that the largest congressional district in the state has Keith Ellison representing us.

Don't stop them now.

did that. At least in Minnesota, those caucuses have nothing to do with who is actually nominated. They're completely ceremonial in nature.

Precinct caucuses have no real function when it comes to nominating presidential contacts. It's just a straw poll of the few who bother to show up at the caucuses. The actual nomination process happens at the state convention - after a primary election. Minnesota's precinct caucuses are meaningless when it comes to presidential nominations.

In fact, none of the three states things yesterday have any real bearing on the state's delegates. It's all for show.

Not one of those states had a binding caucus or primary. It's meaningless, except in terms of how things look.
