Clinton Questions Caucusing (Again)
January 11th, 2008
After the Iowa Caucus Senator Clinton joined some calls that Caucusing was an undemocratic process that disenfranchises voters. Now ahead of the Nevada Caucus she is saying the same thing:
“You have a limited period of time on one day to have your voices heard,” Clinton, D-N.Y., said. “That is troubling to me. You know in a situation of a caucus, people who work during that time — they’re disenfranchised. People who can’t be in the state or who are in the military, like the son of the woman who was here who is serving in the Air Force, they cannot be present.”
It might not be the best move to trash a state’s voting system before the vote, even if she is trying to lower expectation. With that said, at least they cannot charge that she isn’t adopting a consistent message on this issue!
Meanwhile Clinton’s new strategy of being more human and reaching out directly to voters is continuin in Nevada where she is reportedly going door to door to talk to voters.
