On the Campaign Trail with Ed Tibbetts

(8:40 a.m.) Despite what you’ve heard, caucusing is easy.

Really, it is. Really.

Hillary Clinton says so. Now, Barack Obama, too.

The Illinois senator’s campaign has created a web site to explain the caucus process, which it released today.

A video (with an introduction by the senator) includes the staging of a caucus with people dividing into preference groups and then dealing with the viability piece that confuses so many.

You can find it here.

Gordon Fischer, the former Iowa Democratic Party chair, and now an Obama supporter, is the narrator. The caucus even slyly touts his blog, called Iowa True Blue.

The video takes a decidedly different tack than the Clinton one, which was a tongue-in-cheek piece featuring her husband and ex-Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack The Obama video reminds me of one of those films you watched in high school. Very basic.
