I'm sure DJ will understand that while you can snowboard 3+ months a year, every year, that you can only caucus for president once every four fucking years.

Go Dan, it'll be painfully disturbing if you don't go.

Personally, I don't think she'll unite both parties, she doesn’t have the experience she touts (being first lady doesn’t count), and she hasn’t displayed the type of character/judgement I can stand behind (as evidenced by her blatent misreprentation of Obama’s record as of late). Hillary and McCain on the ticket is a timetravel ticket back to the 1990s. I just don't get it.

-however-

You already have a pulpit to do such. Your paper instructed countless people on who to choose, etc.

So not only did you cancel Terry out, you blew him out of the water in influence.

Have fun up there =]

But remember this, next time mustache-growing season comes around.

GET YOUR ASS OUT AND VOTE!!!!

As a Democrat, how could anyone be rabidly against either candidate? Either one will be paradise compared to what we have now. These last eight years have made me very old. I can't wait to feel young again.

Democracy is not easy and sacrificing a couple of hours out of your lives is something that we need to teach our children.

I am not trying to be a scrooge about your son's snowboarding (and I actually think sports and competition is great for kids) but considering how many young urban voters I know who say they care but have better and more interesting things to do tomorrow it is a little disheartening.

It is tough to disappoint your kid so if it is a competition maybe you could get him a ride with someone else.

I just look at how many people I know who do not value the democratic process and telling your kid snowboarding is more important than voting seems like a prett bad early message to be sending.

Sorry to be a downer :(

I'm betting you'll have atleast 4 years of McCain first...

and, many gays ARE just rabid about Mother Clinton. I'm getting emails from fags I barely know, encouraging me to hit the caucus trail tomorrow to support "our" gal...frankly, I'm a little tired of all this rabid behaviour from BOTH sides, ("I'll vote for Hitler, before I vote for (fill in the blank of the Dem you hate")

If I remember my "To Kill a Mockingbird", isn't the cure for rabid behaviour, a shot gun blast to the head, delivered by Gregory Peck?

Go to the caucus. Get the kid a new snowboard.

Maybe we can all go find friends who are voting for the other candidate and cancel each other out by not participating and then go do other things.

But can I just say, Yay Terry! I do like Obama a very lot, and will be delighted to support him if he is the nominee, but I just like Hillary better. I like her very specific, detailed positions on most things, I like the fact that the people of NY are very happy with her, and I think she's very unlikely to make the kinds of "rookie" errors that Bill made, or that I think Obama would make.

It's true that we need a change, and I am confident that eventually we'll get it. But Obama isn't going to plop his toothbrush in the holder in the Presidential bathroom and rewrite how Washington works.

Clinton has an advantage in having been an outside insider (as First Lady) and an inside outsider (as Senator). I like her, I trust her, I believe her, I think she's very smart and more importantly, experienced and practical.

One more time, Yay Terry! I'm with you.

Thank you local Dem leaders for this arcane caucus idiocy. I'm currently on a crutch; if there is no parking at SAAM, I'll have to leave. How about a real primary next time instead of a potential so-called democracy-inspired riot?

Not to mention, I don't need a sermon, a lecture or an ad campaign from anyone who's not for my candidate. I already know how I'm going to vote. Can't I just do it quietly somewhere (voting booth) by myself (secret ballot).

I expect The Stranger to form a vanguard and abolish this archaic insanity.

Go skiing Dan without rue.

It is magic to be in a room with so many people who care as much as you about our collective future. If this snowboard event will change your son’s life more than participating in our history, by all means go. If not, get to that caucus and get rowdy!

Extra quoted for truth.

In the Alaska caucus Edwards was still in the pool. If the caucus really gets rocking people who caucus for the "losing" candidates can trade their votes for promises of delegates.

Even if your candidate has withdrawn you can still have pull!
