Has the pubs been to the cauces this much in the past? Or is because they

are terrified Dean will win the nomination AND THE WHITE HOUSE. Is it usual for the pubs to bash a candidate like they have bashed Dean. Have they bashed the other seven candidates? I know this is a lot of questions, but I'm fairly new to politics. I was just wondering if this the way the pubs normally act during a Democratic caucus or is just because they are afraid of Dean?

I knowe they can't caucus so why are they poring into Iowah??

If the answer is they have only bashed Dean - well that tells us who we should vote for, doesn't it?

1. I think you're right. But then, I'm not totally objective.

2. They can't caucus in Iowa.

Only Democrats and Independents can caucus in the Democratic caucuses. :)

3. This Karl Rove at work here.

Rove's strategy is to disrupt the process as much as possible in an effort to make the opposition look chaotic and disorganized. The was quite effective during the Florida recount raid when 250 + paid Repukelican operatives were flown from DC, in Enron paid flights to disrupt the recount process, in effect, shutting it down. These were not real protesters by any grass roots means. In the 1970's Rove was in big trouble for printing and distributing 1000 fliers to homeless people claiming they will get free alcohol and food at a democratic rally. (Read in "Bush's Brain")
