(12,685 posts)Once again the world is laughing at Iowa. Late-night comedians and social media mavens are having a field day with jokes about missing caucus goers and coin flips.
Thats fine. We can take ribbing over our quirky process. But what we cant stomach is even the whiff of impropriety or error.
What happened Monday night at the Democratic caucuses was a debacle, period. Democracy, particularly at the local party level, can be slow, messy and obscure. But the refusal to undergo scrutiny or allow for an appeal reeks of autocracy.
The Iowa Democratic Party must act quickly to assure the accuracy of the caucus results, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
And so it began...
No paranoia required.

Nice potshot at Libya, but we're all...especially the Libyan people...are better off without a murderous, terrorist-financing Khadaffi running the show.

Of course, I am dubious of these claims. If it happened I would do exactly as I described.
I always vote. It is a responsibility of citizenship in this country.
