Rachel seems confused that the state party can't reach the precinct chairs, but electing a precinct chair is part of the caucus, so that's entirely believable.

Again, I should mention that caucuses own

poo poo. If Maddow doesn't understand what's going on I have no hope. I was praying that she'd spend her entire show tomorrow explaining this poo poo so I might have a chance.

Now I'm going to have to hope for one of those YouTube cartoons that dumbs down political procedure by using animals and stick figures.

I pray Sanders somehow wins by precisely 1 delegate, so that we can discuss in the dem primary thread whether the front runner Bernie Sanders can be challenged by fringe candidate Clinton.

I'm sure a lot of you took my posts about caucuses being great tonight as sarcastic, but they were not. This is a much better process than letting states run it which all state parties should adopt.

I wholeheartedly agree with both these points.

If you take out the 3 precinct delegates Clinton won by a coin flip, Sanders would be up by 1 single precinct delegate right now.

Because literally the only thing that matters about Iowa is the news stories coming out of it and the way it changes the respective campaign narratives?

I mean, I'm not saying they should, but the reason they would is the same reason as anything else they've done involving Iowa.
