Marshall one’s forces indeed. I attended one of the largest caucuses in Kansas and Obama’s forces consisted of 60% republicans/independents How so? The chair of the democratic party presiding(read goon) had all the independents and republicans stand up so all of us could clap for them. Seriously.Since the Clinton group was herded and segregared to the back away from the Obama group when they all stood up they were in his section. Not one Clinton person stood because we were all democrats. And when the republicans and independents stood up they turned around and collectively laughed at us. So please don’t tell me these caucuses aren’t a huge sham. Btw I don’t think it was alot of fun keeping parents of young kids at a caucus which took 3 and a half hours. They don’t lack commitment to Clinton it is just that they have less time to hang around. We all see things from our own prism but having lived previously only in primary states the caucus thing was a real eye opener.
