    I do not think the caucuse votes amount to a hill of beans like they used to as the whole mindset of the country has changed.It is a big waste of money and time.Each of the canidates have a good thing but none of them are as a whole really great and obama is even worse.What a sad state of affairs our country is in and nobody seems to care.Jim Thomas Phx.Az.
