CAUCUS: The end is finally here

Very soon — March 2 — Idaho Republicans will caucus to determine who will be given our state’s presidential votes.

If you’re disabled and can’t attend, don’t worry. If you are out of town and can’t be at a specific place at a specific window of time and duration, don’t worry. Caucus attenders will represent your wishes in the manner of a republic, right? You think? 

Speaking of think, I wonder what most folks out here think is required to take part in a caucus. Some select politically savvy few who are designated as caucus members? No. 

Actually, if I read this right, any Republican who registered by year’s end and shows up with ID at the specified time, duration and place can vote. Nobody special, just us voting citizens. But considering the tight time constraints and eliminations of absentee voting, how many will actually show up? Darned few, I’d guess, limited mainly to those representing the views of those who “mistakenly” eliminated primaries and brought about this circus — oops, caucus.
