2. You're lucky. My state dropped caucuses a while back. I really enjoyed them.
I don't know if each state does them differently, but when we had them here you were assigned to a table based on your address. I think it was randomized so you weren't just sitting with your next door neighbors.

People discussed/voted on the candidates, issues for the party platform, and picked a person from the table to act as a delegate to deliver the results of the table's vote.

It was a great experience. You get a much more visceral sense of participation. I'm very disappointed we went to primaries.
