What the heck is a caucus?

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

Dear Mr. Realtor Knowledgey
I hear all of my friends, and people on the television talking about Caucusing... Caucus this, and Caucus that... what exactly is a Caucus??

Dear Friendless

Well, the Caucasus Mountains are a system in Eurasia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in the Caucasus mountains... so I have to presume that Caucusing would be taking a walkabout in those mountains.  I'm sure that's what they're talking about... makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

That picture looks like you tried on the Ring That Rules Them All!   Hope you've recovered by now.  As for the caucuses, last night was actually the first time I'd seen what they look like.  Messy, inefficient, lots of confusion -- democracy at its finest!

... and in the darkness bind them.

I don't get this caucus stuff....so many people don't want anyone to know who they voted for so they don't go ans also it takes a lot more time...we should have a primary about june for all states and be done with it

maybe that's why they start so early?

Stupid me, I thought it was some type of vegetable especially if all were anxious to get there and maybe have some dip with it?
