question everything

3. Probably not

We are getting too old to schlep to a caucus on a cold, perhaps snowy February night.

These days it takes us longer to shake a simple cold and the flu is still around.

This means that I will not be a delegate to the senate convention and, for the next round, I will no longer be inundated with calls and emails from all the candidates.

All I can hope is that many candidates will choose to stay in the race to the primaries; to campaign to all of us, not just to party activists.

Yeah, I believe that caucuses disenfranchise many voters. Maybe someday we will joint the rest of the country where we select our candidates during primaries. They are more expensive but they are doing well, thank you, in other states.
