Caucus Countdown: 30 Days

I’m going to try and start a new feature that will bring about a daily post specifically about the Iowa Precinct Caucuses, which are now only 30 days away.

As a history primer, I recommend checking out Hugh Winebrenner’s quick piece on the the history of the caucuses that he wrote for IowaPolitics.com.

And how do you caucus?  First of all, check out desmoinesdem’s post series (parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) on how the caucuses work.  Secondly, check out the IDP’s FAQs on the caucuses.

And finally, some of the campaigns and groups have started making videos on how to caucus.  Check them out below the fold.

Let me know if you have thoughts on more daily features and things you want to see in the comments.

**John Edwards’ video**

**Barack Obama’s video**

**Iowans for Sensible Priorities (Caucus for Priorities) video**

Let me know if there are more that I’ve missed!

  • thanks for posting these videos

    I look forward to your posts in the coming month.

    I’m working on part 7 of my Iowa caucus diary series–should go up later this week.

    I also have a piece in the works comparing where the Democratic presidential candidates have field offices. I will post that either this week or next–some of the campaigns keep adding offices every time I think it’s ready to go!
