The Denver Post started running a series of profiles of people in Denver who have volunteered their opinions of our Colorado Caucus. It's buried in the Online edition, here's a link to it: http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_8058715

This is a very strange way to cover this important story, in my opinion. What do you think? Go there and post your thoughts on how the Post is covering the story. I just posted this comment:

So far, this new feature misses the real story of the Colorado Caucus.

Featuring political newcomers and disgruntled old men is a very poor way to capture the true spirit and potential of our wonderful Colorado system for nominating to the primary ballot, in my opinion.

Would the Post cover the Rockies by writing about people who have never been to a baseball game, or who have grown to hate pro-sports? Tell us about the players and the coaches, not those cowering on the sidelines!

It has been said that democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner; liberty is a well armed lamb objecting to the vote. Colorado wolves would kill our wonderful Colorado Caucus; please, Denver Post, arm the lambs! Write about some of the True Caucus Heroes, not just the curious, the complainers, and the confused!
