Dear Iowa Caucuser, about the iReport - please don't
Please don't turn your caucus into a circus where everyone is clicking his/her cell phone to gain 15 seconds of fame on YouTube, or even on Blitzer or Matthews.

I really wish that cell phones be banned during the caucus - just as they are in movies and live performances.

Will never happen.

Sigh...

2. I seem to recall
that a caucus site or two were televised on C-span in the past.

3. I wonder whether the participants were asked for permission
and, if you have one TV camera you can stay on its blind spot and at least this is just one camera.

But can you imagine several hundreds people running around pointing and clicking and transmitting?
