We are collecting experience about this years meetings acrosse the state on http://www.COCaucus.org 

Still seems to me our Colorado Caucus is the last, best hope for the common person to serve in elected public office.

The rich and powerful have better things to do with their time, that's ok, they can still just pay petition passers and run ads and never shake hands with anyone and still get their chance to serve, that's ok by me.  

And not every one can go every year, it's sort of like a relay race. But it's where political newcomers with limited means make connections, learn, and get experience that allows them to possibly have a chance in office at some point. And we all get a chance to vote in the primary, whether it's petition only, like California, and voters almost never meet local candidates, or caucus and petition, and with the caucus those in office have their feet held to the local voter fire every election, that's why so many encomabants who got their start with the system are always open to ways to deep 6 it.

At least that's how I see it, how about you?
