Just kidding, great info, thanks for the scoop. I knew that it was happening this year but wasn't sure of the new process.

I am very excited to take part in this year's caucus. I will be at my respective site and I already know who I'll "preference" This is a great year for Kansans b/c usually at this time the nominee is already secured. This year we actually get to be apart of the decision making. ??? for President :-)

Thanks for the great information. I am excited to take part in the process and see how it all works. It is even better since the race is still up for grabs.

Using "preference groups" and secret ballots to help determine the President of the United States - what a great country!!! I do not have the same political illness that effects Lisa and while I still do understand the whole political process, I do appreciate the fact that I can have a say. Not only for the President, but also for the local issues and races that will be coming up. I look forward to getting involved!

Election years are the best, because I get to say the word "caucus" a lot. It makes me feel like I am getting away with saying something dirty in Greek. So I take advantage of every opportunity to work it into conversations wherever I can: "Did you see the size of that caucus?" "I left that caucus completely satisfied." "You have not lived until you see a caucus in action." "Have you ever considered holding a caucus?" "If you've seen one caucus, you've seen 'em all." I was fortunate enough to participate in the 2004 caucus here in Hutchinson. It was an exhilirating experience. There were three major candidates from my party at the time. One was the clear favorite. The the other two seemed to be fighting for table scraps. I was an early supporter of one of the underdogs. It was quickly becoming apparent that my candidate was going to be viable(but just barely) and the other was not. That gave me the opportunity to lobby the supporters of the nonviable candidate to come support my guy. Believe it or not, they all listened, and most came over to stand by me. Needless to say this went straight to my head, as I volunteered, and subsequently was voted, to become a delegate to represent my candidate at the Congressional District Conventions. At the Congressional District level, I attempted to become a delegate(s) to represent my candidate at the 2004 National Convention. I was robbed!!! But I digress. Regardless of the outcome, regardless of the fact that they overlooked what could have been the most enthusiastic delegate at the 2004 convention(I'm not bitter), I enjoyed the process. I enjoy the ability to potentially impact the shape of things. So, no matter what your political persuasion, I highly recommend you get out the vote on you particular day. Food for thought: Don't you wish they would combine Super Tuesday with Fat Tuesday, to make "Super Fat Tuesday"? I don't know what the political outcome would be,but I would bet you Hillary would end the day wearing a LOT more bead necklaces than Barack. Maybe not more than McCain, though.

After reading David's narrative, I feel like I was just persuaded a little bit to vote for him for something...are you running for anything?

Please keep in mind there are 2 David Inskeeps in Hutchinson.

I think Adlai Stevenson said it best,"In America, anybody may become president, and I suppose it's just one of the risks you take." So no, I am not currently seeking any office. However, for those paying attention. There will be a David Inskeep on the ballot in November. My father is running for Kansas Senate in district 34. He has a website you can visit for additional info, www.daveinskeep.com. You will get the pleasure of seeing my shoulder and my youngest daughter in two seperate pictures. Although I have been told I have nice shoulders, I think her picture is probably better. I appreciate your vote of condfidence, and should I decide to run for anything, you will be the first person I ask for money, this much I promise.
