Yep, people from 8 states?
Sounds national to me.
What a joke.
And I'm not even sure where "Roselle Park, NK" is.

The NPC was previewed by major media from CBS News, The Washington Post and The New York Times, among others. The actual Caucuses are receiving a fair amount of local attention from the mainstream media, including front page newspaper coverage in Greensboro, NC and TV coverage by WNBC news in NYC, the largest NBC affiliate in the nation.
I guess not a complete joke if some MSM dogs decided to cover it /shrug

According to themselves. Let's see, what is it they say, ah yes, "previewed by major media from CBS News, The Washington Post and The New York Times, among others." That's right, previewed, as in they announced that somebody was going to be doing something on Dec. 7. WAPO Aug 21, NYT buried an announcement in a much larger article on 12/7 and CBS wrote about it on June 18. Haven't seen anybody but infowars actually announce results. http://www.infowars.net/articles/december2007/121207Caucus.htm

While some groups were small informal gatherings, others attracted hundreds of people including some party officials and campaign staff. Before voting was undertaken, discussions were held on several key issues with deliberation on the stance of individual candidates factored in.
What crap.

No more crap than a zogby phone poll. This is what happens when you list Ron Paul as a choice.
