18. What if the "insiders" are any registered Democrats who show up?
With all the press the nomination process is getting, there is no reason to believe that caucuses would be small or that only the powerful would attend.

Some states have "secret ballot" caucuses (I don't really understand it, but I know it is possible), so there could be a multi-hour window where people show up, cast a ballot and get to go home. That sounds like a primary to me, but if it solves the problem to call it a caucus, fine.
