(2,467 posts)123. I am a big fan of caucuses
I was just a child when my grandmother took me to my first caucus. I loved it and it encouraged a lifetime of political activity. I am a senior now and I still plan on attending my neighborhood caucus.
Primaries can award delegates but caucuses serve other purposes for the party including recruiting PCOs and volunteers for local campaigns. When we no longer know our neighbors well, they also serve a community building purpose like the town hall of old.

It messes me up and I will likely make a religious exemption and email my affidavit.

Bernie will be just across the river from the "American Oasis" on Sunday. You know what that means.
