saw a attempt in Utah in 2008. When you are the Minority Political Party in your County,and your voting share is 28% in the General,and your Caucus at the Precinct level only attacks about a dozen folks,yes,several in our Precinct came with that in mind. Fortunately,the screw ball candidate they supported was no way in hell viable on any level. Myself and another Person were able to kill that one off. Had they had one more person,well,that would have given them the Majority of Caucus.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
