caucusing is easy, apparently

hillary is (kinda sorta) the gordon brown of american politics. She's been around forever, been close to power but never been number one, is highly intelligent and politically brilliant, but lacks something - humanity, wit, the ability to improvise - that the person she hopes to emulate had in abundance (for Tony read Bill). The rather clever little virals her campaign produce is evidence however, of her (or her team's) ability to adapt, and evidence too of the sophistication of American political communications. The latest is a funny and sharp two minute video about how to vote in the Iowa caucus. 'Caucusing' is not an entirely straightforward affair, and the big worry of all the candidates is that their supporters won't bother to turn out for them. This is a great attempt to minimize the apathy or apprehension of her potential voters.

ps this, on the other hand, is simply crazy, and possibly great (from the rising star of the Republican field, Mike Huckabee)
