1. Obama telling Iowa college students they can caucus for him even if they aren't from Iowa.

Barack Obama's campaign is telling Iowa college students they can caucus for him even if they aren't from Iowa.

Obama's campaign is telling Iowa college students they can caucus for him even if they aren't from Iowa. His campaign offers that advice in a brochure being distributed on college campuses in the state. A spokesman said 50,000 of the fliers are being distributed. It says: "If you are not from Iowa, you can come back for the Iowa caucus and caucus in your college neighborhood."

Given that many students in Iowa's colleges and universities are from Obama's neighboring home state of Illinois, the effort could net him lots of additional votes on caucus night.

2. So? They can. They can also caucus for Hillary, Edwards, Biden et al

As long as they only vote in one place, it's legal...I'm not sure what you're saying?

4. That's how most caucus states are-- and have been for awhile

If you are a resident of the precinct at the time of the caucus, you can participate, even if you may not be a resident of the precinct when the general election takes place.

I'm quite sure that Mondale used this to his advantage in '84, as well.

3. Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to caucus night. A DUer told me there would be televised

coverage. CSPAN I think? I'm planning on watching. :)
