Just got a call from a lifelong Dem. She will be missing her first caucus [View all]

in a long time. Wanted to know if there was any absentee way to join in?

Felt bad saying no, but rules are rules.
She's in her mid-80s. Really worried that Hillary won't be selected.
Told her that Hillary has as good of a shot as anyone ever has.
