CAUCUSES: No way to pick best

The 2012 election is an EXTREMELY important one. In the Coeur d'Alene Press, Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012, Carrie Phillips, County Election Manager, says "One thing the primary ballot won't include is presidential candidates. New this year for Idaho is that both the Republicans and Democrats will be holding county caucuses to determine party presidential candidates."

In other words, the public is not allowed to pick the candidate of our choice. Instead a group of caucuses (ahem! possibly "the good old boys") will decide for us. I feel robbed of my rights. There are too many divisions in the parties for them to make that decision for us.
