6. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but...

What do you mean by caucusing? Does this just mean voting for Bernie in the primary, or does it mean something else?

8. From my understanding, One can go

And caucus for him. It could be for him or the other two candidates.

In my state of Colorado, you must be registered as a Democrat.

9. Caucusing is where you go to a convention like thing

and different groups supporting candidates will try to get you to join their respective campaign. You don't vote per se, as you do in a primary. You come together as a group to show your support for your candidate, then the caucus chair counts heads.

Here's a good primer on caucusing in the DFL in Minnesota (in MN we don't have a "Democratic" Party. Ours is officially called the "Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party&quot

19. Minnesota (and Iowa) have caucuses instead of primaries

You go to a designated meeting place in your election precinct and register your support for a candidate. Minnesota used to have "the walking caucus," where people had to go stand in groups for various candidates and issues--Iowa still does, I believe.

Ever since I've been back here, however, they take a straw poll for the candidates. You write down which candidate you support on a folded over piece of paper and hand it in to be counted by four tellers. (I have been a teller, so I know the count is honest.)

The precinct caucus also chooses delegates and alternates for the Congressional district convention, which is held later in the spring.

In addition to endorsing candidates, the caucuses also vote on resolutions. Anyone may present a resolution on a matter of public policy, and if the precinct approves it, the resolution is sent up to the next level, and possibly eventually up to the state level.

Minnesota has a very democratic way of selecting delegates, since anyone who is elected at their precinct caucus may be elected to go to the state convention from their Congressional district and from there may be elected to go to the national convention.

14. Ellison is great.

And he's firmly behind Bernie.

[rhett o rick]

16. I will be caucusing for Sen Sanders in the state of Washington. nm

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. I haven't gotten called for Bernie, but I have gotten called for Hillary

I told the caller that I was supporting Bernie, and she hung up.

I'm caucusing in true-blue Linden Hills, which consistently votes 80% DFL.

[geardaddy]

18. I did get a call from the Hillary campaign earlier in the month

Told them I was caucusing for Bernie. They tried to change my mind. I told them if she's the eventual nominee, I'll vote for her, but I'm voting Bernie first.
