The DFL caucus will be pretty boring since there won't be any competitive races for endorsements on or a meaningful vote, it'll just be people proposing boring planks and voting on pointless resolutions. However simply attending a Minneapolis DFL caucus guarantees you delegate status if you want it, and the Senate convention could be more interesting even if it'll be nothing but said voting and electing delegates to state. I've done it the past two elections.

On the other hand the GOP convention votes on something meaningful and I think I could have fun seeing if my forum persona would fit in well, because honestly it would. I could show up high after a few drinks and easily fit in a textbook Ron Paul supporter (Paul will win my caucus too, he did in 2008), and obviously the Jesus loving stuff would also fit. But I also don't want it ever on file that I ever attended a Republican caucus.

I got plenty of time to think about it...

Oh, and you should definitely find someway to talk about your music or opebo at it.

YES! I should wear a band shirt and propose a resolution that the Minnesota GOP add a plank supporting a FTA between the US and Thailand.

BTW both resolutions I proposed at previous caucus involved alcohol.

At the end I should be like "Oh by the way I was just trolling, I'm really a liberal Democrat...but everything else I said was true. I really do love alcohol, pot and Jesus as much as I said."

I'm already thinking of what band shirt I should wear if I go to the Republican one. Which of these do you think would be better?

I'm already feeling even more jealous of you lucky people who can drive & vote. Stupid GDL & stupid voting age preventing me from experiencing election inspired fun. Sad

Obviously you wouldn't be eligible to participate in a caucus at your age, but driving is a non-issue here. Caucuses and voting precincts are always in walking distance. That's just Minneapolis though, out in the suburbs and rurals it's no doubt different.

I don't think I could do a Bachmann-supporting persona well.

I've decided that if I do this, I need to find a way to work the phrase "RON MOTHERF**KING PAUL" in sometime.
