And when it nears the end, the celebs come to town backing a candidate, the candidates go after each other and it's totally insane. Young people will be standing on the corners jumping up and down waving signs for their candidate. People are knocking on your door, the phone is ringing off the hook, every one is talking issues and politics everywhere you go. Last time I walked into my usual coffee shop to get my morning cup of coffee and was surrounded by the national media who streamed in the door. The Newt Gingrich and his wife came in and sat at our table and talked. The national media are a kick to watch, you can't help but get the fever, and we're all a little like NASCAR fans watching to see if someone is going to crash before caucus day. Then, on caucus day, unlike elections, the campaigning goes on during the caucus until finally the vote is counted. The next day....they are all long gone and we watch from the wings to see who will win in the end. We take it seriously, go see them, listen and participate but it's insane. You'd love it.
