…then tonight might have been his, at least in my precinct. At triple the turn out from two years ago, our caucus was hot, full, and gray. Gray haired, that is. Of the thirty-seven people who showed, over twenty were well into their Social Security years. [cont…]
Predictions for Tonight?
March 15, 2012 by
What’s your prediction for your caucus meeting tonight? Are you running for county or state delegate? Caucus leadership?
Do you expect a high turnout? Will high turnout benefit candidates? Will naysayers change their minds about the caucus system if turnout is high?
Do you think that Senator Hatch or his challengers will be able to stack the caucus?
Do you think it’ll be like 2010? or something entirely different?

It’s rare that I would waste space blasting a book. Life is short and time is a scarce resource. I’d rather just drop a book unworthy of finishing and move on to a new one. This time, though, I think 1421 merits further explanation because of the sensational success it has experienced worldwide.
