Um.. David Shuster saying that Obama does better in caucuses, there are different |
|
caucuses.
The ones in IA and NV (the only ones, so far) were out in the open. No secret ballots, voters had to stand up and be counted.
In my MN caucus tomorrow - and, I think, in others - we do use secret ballots.

That is why Romney is expected to do best in caucus states on the rethug side. Remember that Obama outspend the second place finisher in Iowa 6-to-1 despite it being in his backyard.
