Caucus night, 2012

Sometimes pictures do tell a story.  Like here.

West Des Moines Precinct 114, before the 2012 GOP caucus presidential straw poll - the part that gets on TV.

WDM 114 after straw poll, when delegates to county convention get selected.

If you wonder why the official party is the way it is -- those who show up and sit through the boring stuff win.  Sad to say, I went home.
