I lived in a precinct with a big university population, in Saint Paul MN, and was precinct chair for three election cycles, of course in the other party. Two of the three cycles we had maybe 25 people show up, but in 2004, with a presidential nomination up for grabs, it was ten times that, with lots of students showing up. Kerry took the state quite handily that year, but in my precinct, he was third, with Kucinich first, just beating Edwards, who if memory serves actually had dropped out of the race just hours before commencement of the caucuses that night. Kerry a distant third.
Students can really bias the caucus numbers, especially in a mostly rural country like Benton with a marginal concentration of students at its western extremity. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
