Question about Washington Caucuses

Since President Obama has a lock on the nomination....I was thinking of going to the Republican caucus and being a delegate for Gringrich because that would weaken Romney, and then as soon as the caucus votes are certified, start asking a bunch of quesons and making liberal motions to mess up their caucus and watch their heads explode...if I had enough people to do it and big enough scene ensued we might be able to get some press coverage. Not identify ourselves as actually being Democrats..but if the press came, we'd just discuss the issues calmly and cooly while they're going crazy...it worked when George Bush Sr. came to town on October 27, 1988? It would be kind of like an "Occupy the GOP Caucus" Thoughts?

That means if you actively participate in your local Dem organizations, this is a really lousy idea. If you don't, it probably won't make any difference one way or another.

Republicans, BTW, are not known for running clean caucuses. Their tallies are often less than truly public. As Lenin once said "Those who vote determine nothing. Those who count the votes determine everything."
