Missouri moving some caucuses

Apparently some of the caucuses in Missouri are changing times or dates, from http://www.newspressnow.com/localnews/30504022/detail.html:

Missouri Republicans in most counties will hold a presidential caucus at 10 a.m. on March 17. However, Republicans in Jackson County and St. Louis city plan to meet a week later on March 24. Republicans in Phelps County, which is home to Rolla, still plan to caucus on St. Patrick’s Day but will start at 2 p.m. The later presidential caucuses should avoid conflicts with St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

In addition, Wayne County in southeastern Missouri is scheduled to caucus March 16 and rural Chariton County in central Missouri is scheduled to meet March 15. Andrea Rice, the chairwoman for the GOP committee in Chariton County, said Monday the caucus date was changed to coincide with a Republican dinner.

Let's hope the press doesn't choose to ignore the fact that a very large portion of Missouri's population including St. Louis and most of Kansas City won't even have caucused by the St. Patrick's Day evening. Post-Dispatch, I'm talking to you.

Also for those that follow strategy, Rolla has a large college population and will not caucus until 2:00, well after the drinking has begun in earnest. Nice way to suppress the college-age vote even further.

And Chariton (not a large county) will align the caucus with a GOP dinner to bring in the standard party members.

So lets GOTV at the right time on the right days.
