I have heard that Republicans could caucus for Dems (and vice-versa).
People flying in from out of state, etc.
Wouldn't this, COULDN'T this, severely distort the caucus results?:crazy:

2. The milk is spilt, don't cha know? Here is a line from the DeMoine Register
found by googling your questions....

" ...all citizens can participate as long as they sign a voter registration card, attesting to residency in the precinct and show that they'll be 18 in time for the general election."

...

Note that the citizen must attest to residency in an Iowa precinct.

4. Still...could it have been PLUNKING? Crossovers to confuse us..the enemy
Jus asking....we all know many Pubs are so turned off by their own that they have come to the promised land of the Dems...

But there is that percentage who came to vote Dem for nefarious reasons....and later vote Pub in the General....

With the Pubs, we have to suspect the worst.....

the people energized and voting. Heck, if America's most distinguished economists can endorsecan for John, then the trade unions can surely "get out the troops" in greater numbers. Personally, I don't believe most people would have fallen for Obama's anodyne waffle at all.

The Republicans in Iowa and elsewhere know that both Obama and Clinton, are corporatists; same tribe, different clans. The DINOs are Trojan horses in the Democratic party. For one of them to win the presidency would be a major, major prize for them, since their only other option would be a formal Republican, which would mean a major wipe-out - with "real deal", real New Deal, progressives resuming their rightful place in the driving-seat of government.
