Caucus time is about to begin in Iowa, gatherings at 1,800 places in a state that has 3 milliion people. About 200,000 of them are expected to take part in the curious meetings which are the first strange steps on the long, long road to the White House.
One of those meeting halls is a bar, and we could all use a drink of some sort or other as this complicated process unwinds. That's especially true on the Democratic side where after the first tally, participants representing candidates getting small percentages can switch allegiances.
Such is democracy. No one said it can't be quirky, too.
