89. That's Why Anyone Not Wanting To Seat The Delegates, But Claiming Caucuses Are Fair, Are Abolute
hypocrites.

The caucus process is the most unfair and unprofessional thing I've ever seen, as it relates to the integrity of elections. Anyone supporting them as a valid voice of the people would be the world's biggest hypocrites if they had the gall to then claim that the 1.7 million voters from florida didn't in fact let their voice be heard. I think every one on DU should try and work towards ending the caucus process prior to the next primary season. It is a meaningless, highly unrepresentative, and monumentally skewed and inaccurate process. I'm frankly amazed at how many states are allowed to get away with it. It's wayyyyyyyy too much of an opportunity for disenfranchisement to occur, which could then have an impact on the candidate, such as what we've seen here. It is highly likely that without the caucuses, Obama would be behind and probably wouldn't have the momentum he currently enjoys. If he turns out to be the candidate, it will in large part be due to unbelievable flawed in concept caucuses.
