What is a 'Caucus?'

The Iowa Caucus is upon us. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are the names people are discussing. Michael Shure talks with Dave Funk, the GOP Co-Chair of Polk County in Iowa to give you the information you need.

@echosixnoble Fail. I put up a comment right away so some goof would fail at "first". Marinate on that

So it kinda sounds like we still technically choose the president, but there are a lot of middle men. I am not quite confident that we as a people actually still totally controll who picks the president, though it does sound like we do some kind of voting somewhere.

Same day registration?  At a public elementary school? Fucking commies.

Hmm, same day registration? I thought Pugs were against that.

The Democratic caucus sounds really like the transfer system that we use here in Ireland; if someone is eliminated, the votes are all transferred to the next preference of the voter.... That's cool :P

A caucus is a plant that grows in the desert.

Now do a video "What is a 'Calculus'?" and spend 5 minutes on the Lambda Calculus. :)

The Democrat version sounds fun, dramatic, and a good way of choosing the nominee. The GOP version sounds like a drawn out time wasting version of just voting.

The primary states have caucus envy

@WarThug13 Arcane means it isn't understood by most people. The word makes perfect sense in the context of the video because he's explaining how the caucus works.
