Experienced caucus-goers; please describe the experience and strategy [View All]

Although I have voted in every election since '76, I have never participated in a caucus. Frankly, up until this year, it has seemed something that only Democratic Party 'wonks' are inclined to bother with. I'm considering attending ours for the first time on "Super Tuesday" but don't know if I want to show up if I'm only going to be looked at as a pawn on the chessboard to be nudged around the room by the Truly Wonkish.

I'm assuming the process is a little more interactive than members of the various camps huddling together and singing 'kumbiah'. Is everyone expected to drift around trying to recruit hesitant looking people at the fringes of competing groups, or is this something only delegated members of each camp do? As an Edwards supporter, I feel fairly comfortable I can describe his positions. There is zero chance that I could be persuaded to move over to the Clinton camp, and little chance of moving towards Obama, but the Obama folks here do seem to be highly motivated and organized.

Thanks for any replies.
