Tonight is it for me [View all]

Iowa Caucus.

Warren Precinct captain.

I'll do the best I can. Am a little nervous as several of the campaigns have staffers as captains (out of state people) and I'm afraid they will be pushy because they don't have to live in the community.

That is what keeps it polite most of the time, you still have to deal with these people on a day to day basis, so you keep it polite. No badgering, just conversation.

Oh, and I have to speak and I'm afraid I'll choose the wrong words.

SO, some encouragement would be welcome!
