12/15/11: Utah's Unique Caucus System - The Pros and Cons

Salt Lake City, UT – According to a recent report, Utah's unique caucus system gives more power to convention delegates than any other state. Another report showed that caucus delegates don't represent mainstream Utah voters. A newly formed group of politicos is fed up with the system and they want to change the way Utahns pick their candidates. A diverse panel of guests will join Doug on Thursday to discuss the state's nominating system, how it does or doesn't work, and where the voters stand on all of this.

  • Read the Utah Foundation's report on the state's caucus-convention system.
  • Read a report on Republican delegates who participated in the May 2010 caucuses.
