I agree - neither is a strong candidate and because of Hillary and her baggage and Bernie's age and policies - I really don't see either winning the Presidency. If Biden had run - then the Republicans would have had to worry as I know many Republicans that would have voted for him vs one of their party.
How can you mention age when Joe Biden is 73 and Bernie Sanders is 74? I like Bernie, but his demeanor concerns me (as well as some of his policies) so I'm leaning toward Hillary. Sometimes he reminds me of a character in the movie "Network" with Faye Dunaway. Anyone remember that movie? I was in my 20s. I always expect Bernie to suddenly say at the end of a speech "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more," so it was nice to see him smiling last night as his supporters cheered. Most of the time he looks too angry and serious.

LMAO, awesome post. It's been years since I've seen that movie, but didn't that man inspire a cult-like following of people going around repeating "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more"? I see a similar cult-like effect with Bernie's followers.
I know. I like and admire Bernie but I can't watch him for more than 30 seconds.
I feel exactly the same. His nasally whine just grates like nails on a chalkboard. If I had to hear him say "Iower" one more time ... lol. Nitpicky, yes. But his oration skills are just gawdawful.
Do they swear? LOL I burst out laughing when one of the young women in a caucus used the *F* word on live TV. I'm wondering if she did it on purpose. I'm surprised cameras are allowed. Isn't voting supposed to be a private matter?
I don't want to be redundant, but as I wrote before, a caucus isn't just time consuming and inconvenient, for many it's not possible. The first thing that came to mind when I learned you need to attend during specific hours was "what do restaurant employees do? Most people eat dinner between 5 and 8. So a server, cashier, cook, etc., can't leave his/her job to sit around for hours and kibitz.
Here's my personal opinion, not based on anything I've read. I saw a lot of young people, maybe college students, on Mon night in Iowa. Bernie Sanders is getting the majority of the college vote. Working moms (or dads) the elderly and others who can't leave their homes on a snowy night to caucus might have voted for Hillary Clinton. So I'll just wait to see what happens in other states.
as for being private, caucus voting is very different from poll booth voting. To answer your question; no!
as for restaurant workers I doubt many had intentions of being delegates, so unless they are worrying about the process, I don't think the rest of us need to worry.
I am in a similar situation as Oldhag, so are many of my family members. No matter who we are leaning toward, we have second or even third choices on our list. I think many people see the Republican race a choice of more than one possible decent candidate, all with strong points and yes, negatives.
