To get more people involved. Bad move. Your feelings?

2. Exactly, right, Hardrada. |
|
Remember the Nevada caucuses? Not first in the nation, I know. But they had to compete with The NFL playoffs amongst other things. A lot less media exposure. Plus, a selfish reason. I work Saturdays. I liked them at night.

3. As with most meetings, there is no "best" time. |
|
some people work weekends, some work nights, some have a TV show they can't miss. The way they jacked around with the caucus time last round, I would just like to see them pick a time and stick with it.

5. Since Mr. Cairycat works evenings, |
|
he could go to a Saturday afternoon caucus. I guess I'd prefer an evening but since I feel like the caucuses are my chance to actually have a say, I will go regardless. Whether someone who is not as politically involved would be more likely to show up on a Saturday afternoon than a weekday evening remains to be seen. Why not give it a try?
But I agree with Rurallib: Pick a damn time and stick with it!

6. I couldn't get to the caucus last year |
|
Because I work second shift I wasn't able to attend the caucus. Which was disappointing because I wanted to attend. Saturday would probably be a better time with my schedule at the least, but it might not work for other people. I think our current system could be improved to account for those who don't have the time to attend a caucus.

7. Could be the last time we're first in the nation, so enjoy the privelege. |
|
But, THEY say that every four years, don't THEY?
