A Merry Caucus Race

Yes, the course of our national ship of state begins to turn today.

And if you're interested in how the thing works, I'll let the Dodo explain:

`What I was going to say,' said the Dodo in an offended tone, `was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.'

`What is a Caucus-race?' said Alice; not that she wanted much to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything.

`Why,' said the Dodo, `the best way to explain it is to do it.'

Actually, that wasn't very helpful, but CNN has a primer that will keep you from grabbing the nearest bottle marked "drink me".

Happy Iowa Caucus Day!
