question for caucusgoers...how do you feel about the viability threshold?

if i wanted to caucus for mom in iowa, for example, and if he doesn't get the 15%, i would have to choose another candidate or leave.

i would be very disappointed not to be able to "pull the lever" for my preferred candidate.

how do you all feel about that? do viability thresholds have any place anymore in elections?

honest question...i have only ever lived in poll states.

thanks, rf
