Kansas caucuses

They aren't getting much attention, but Kansas' caucuses are coming up in February.

The Democrats go Feb. 5, or Super Tuesday, when some 20 other states vote, including California, New York and Massachusetts. With so few votes, or delegates, toward the total, it always seems like Kansas is irrelevant during the nominating process. But this year, it could shape up to be a long, protracted battled between Obama and Clinton and our tiny share might really matter. Looks like, as in Iowa, you can register to vote that night or switch party affiliation to vote.

The Democratic Caucus is at 7 p.m. (can't be late) at Baden Square in Winfield for everybody in Senate District 32.

Republicans in Kansas caucus Feb. 9 starting at 10 a.m. (Don't be late) They are doing it by Congressional District and it looks like the closest spot is Belle Plaine, at the Belle Plaine City Building, 401 N. Merchant. This, too, could be an important race. With four people in real contention, it might go down to the wire. The web site (below) states that this is the first time in 20 years! that Republicans in Kansas have been part of the nominating process.
