The difference between a caucus and a primary election is that in a primary, voters secretly fill out ballots and leave. In the caucuses, they are required to come and stay for several hours, and there are no secret ballots. In the presence of friends, neighbors and occasionally strangers, caucus members vote with their feet, by raising their hands and moving to different parts of the room to show their support for one candidate or another.
It will be interesting to see which candidates form each party gets the nod from Iowans tonight and then it’s on to the Wyoming caucus.
That’s the news today. I hope the news about you is good news.

It's interesting that you mention the Wyoming primary, I have heard almost nothing about that... It's on the 5th. No one talks about it! I don't think I've seen any polls about how well people are doing there. I think that Ron Paul will win the Wyoming primary.
I know what you mean at this point every caucus and primary are important.
