Are you implying that everyone can make it to a caucus? Perhaps all the troops could fly home, the imfirm could miraculously arise from their beds and walk again, and all the hospitals could close down so that doctors and nurses could participate. Caucuses are extremely undemocratic and unrepresentative and they should be eliminated!!!
