Sadly, I'll never experience a party caucus. They seem to be democracy in its purest form, where democrats come from all over to engage one another on issues before they put them to a vote. Anybody can speak their mind, anybody can take the floor and persuade his/her neighbor that maybe year round schools aren't such a good idea, for example.

Meaningful debate is a thing of the past in our current system. All too often we make our decisions based on soundbites, not complete information.
