We'll see what happens; L considers herself an Independant, and to participate in the caucus, you have to say whether you are a Democrat or Republician before they'll let you take part - the oath you have to swear is just like the oath on the back on the envelopes of the mail-in ballots.
Granted, the language for the Democratic side is a lot softer then the Republician, (The Democrats says that you consider yourself a democrat, whereas the Republican side requires you to swear that you are an actual party member) but it still requires you "pick a side" and she is very uncomfortable with that - and, I'm not going to push her, one way or the other.
And, the fact that the primary doesn't count bugs me - if it wont be counted, why are we having it? Why not save the time and money for something else? grrrrrrrr...
