Gee, I live in Nevada too, and I love the caucus. It is open only to republicans, and you get the chance to talk things over with people.
Last caucus, our precinct was overwhelmingly Mormons wearing Romney buttons. There were I think three of us who were non-Mormon, two of us supported Gingrich, one supported Santorum. We talked about the alternatives to Romney, and I guess we did a very good job because Newt won our precinct, Santorum took a couple of votes, and unbelievably Romney came in last!
Now I don’t know if Romney was your candidate or not, (personally I felt Romney was not a good candidate to go up against Obama) but the point here is that with a caucus, as opposed to the open primary that we have here in Nevada, we the grass roots can really have some influence if we care to exercise it, and really limit the power of RINOs. Don’t hate the caucus please, it is really quite empowering.

In Stagecoach :) And how did the state go? The people get up to Reno and the Nevada Republicans and they go however they want.
In addition, every person alive and mobile used to vote in the primary here. We switch to caucus and lose half the voters. They don’t have the time and don’t want to deal with the self important know it all community leaders. They don’t want to discuss their vote, they just want to vote.
