Caucus? What's a caucus?

*Told ya I'd get off-topic. But when we're talking important stuff like participating in your government process, democracy, etc., I think I get a pass.*


My boyfriend is a bit of a nerd (a very endearing one, of course, but still a nerd). This morning, he couldn't sleep.

"I'm too excited -- it's Super Tuesday!" he said. "It's, like, Christmas morning to me!"

I rolled my eyes.

But it is exciting, especially if you take the time to figure out what in the world is going on with all of these caucuses and primaries and delegates and stuff and get involved. The best explanation I've seen so far (complete with pictures -- totally helps) is from the New York Times Election Guide and divides the day's festivities into the democratic and republican contests.

Check it out, and GET out tonight to your caucus or primary! The good ol' can't-b*tch-if-you-don't-vote thing is still a classic.
