This Caucus live blogging at dKos is very interesting for me. Until I read ATinNM's old diary, I thought a "caucus" is just another word for indirect primary.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want something as chaotic and tricky as described. Or without secret vote as a number of people argued in ATinNM's old diary.

No, caucus is like a state party is actually ... (none / 1)

... a coalition of local community parties, which have members that meet together to pick their representatives to the state convention.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
