Since the caucus vote is also a second trip out (after voting the 1st time earlier that day) starting at 7:30 PM at night, and potentially a lengthy process going into the night, it attracts, like I said, the real political nerds, political junkies, people who have no lives except to read political blogs all day, people draped in buttons -- wingnut type people, the real loons and crazed fanatics who somehow have the time and energy to do this. Basically it is a system that can negate to a serious degree what the popular will had decided at primary polling locations.
It's stupid and should be done away with.

"Obamaniacs could compensate for that by using their insane zeal to have them go out yet again to vote at precinct HQs, which are combative, zealot-filled places.
