Apparently, the CNN site only lists delegates that vote. The
wikipedia site lists the actual attendees at the Democratic caucuses
as 8,880. That is still only 1.5 percent of the 600,000 people in
Alaska and is not a fair representation. The fact is many Alaskans
cannot attend these caucuses for various reasons, being older is one
of them especially when the caucuses are held in the winter on
February 5, like they were. The fact is the Democratic caucus in
Alaska was a sham and is not what a democracy is supposed to be all
about. Obama winning this caucus is a sham, Obama is a sham. The
whole Democratic caucus idea is a method to allow the young,
unemployed, clerical types, government employees, and African
Americans to control the primary process. Older voters and blue
collar workers are discriminated against.
