It’s our series leading up to the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut primaries – and about 20 others on “Super Duper Tuesday”, February 5th. It’s peer-to-peer democracy, as we all help each other figure out who to vote for in the Democratic and Republican votes.
Dan Johnston, former member of the Iowa legislature and former Polk County (Des Moines) Attorney, explains how the Democratic candidates' "votes" were counted in the caucuses.
I voted in many elections as a former California resident. Back in the 80's I was encouraged for Tom Bradley for Govenor in the polling numbers. I as many others was shocked that he lost to Deukmejian. I hope New Hampshire and other states are not a repeat but true leanings especially in Southern and "purple" states.

A person can be post partisan and liberal, just as one can be a Yankee fan, but not hate the Red Sox. Strong policy positions do not necessarily lead to the scorch and burn practice of contemporary partisan politics. I personally am a partisan and I hate the Red Sox, and while neither Obama nor Clinton are my 1st choice, I do appreciate the lowered level of vitriol in Obama's message.
