Yes, absolutely that helps, thank you very much. I still have some trouble envisioning how exactly it goes on (such as exactly how the delegates work witha non binding vote), but I have a much better understanding. So I’m curious, what advantage is there, if any, over the normal ballot casting primaries. I know that may not be a question you can necessarily answer, I’m just wondering why do all of that complicated stuff and not simply vote with a ballot. When you were precint chairman, did you see any advantage to it? I can already see some disadvantages, as you mentioned what happened to Keyes, I’m just curious. Thanks again.
The delegates to the national convention simply ignore the expressed will of their fellow Iowa Republicans in the precinct caucus night presidential straw poll.
A caucus to convention process has advantages, if it is run fairly. The problem is with the character of the people running the show.
