A few minutes ago on their Facebook Page Meet the Press asked "what questions would YOU like to ask the GOP candidates?" Here's the comment John Wren posted:
Iowa and 16 other states still have a neighborhood caucus-assembly system for nominating to the primary ballot. Grass Roots Rules by Christopher Hull (Stanford University Press) has demonstrated that, at least in the Iowa Caucus) they system overcomes the effects of big money and big power in the nominating process, leveling the playing field. What do you think of the caucus-assembly system as compared to the petition only or direct primary system that most states have adopted? Would petition only states be well served to explore a change to the neighborhood caucus system? (For more on the caucus-assembly system we have in Colorado, see http://www.COCaucus.org/)
Intended to help your informed participation in our wonderful Colorado neighborhood system for nominating candidates to the primary ballot, the best path for the common person to serve in elected public office. If you have questions or information that should be posted here, post it as a comment and someone will get back to you ASAP. Thanks!
