Occupy the Caucus

It would seem that the various Occupy Wall Street groups are trying to coordinate for a major sit-in of both the various Republican candidates offices and Mr. Obama's reelection offices a week before the Caucus on January 3.

The first move will be to try to sit in the offices. Obviously this won't last long and they will probably be evicted quickly by the various local sheriffs. After that, they'll sit outside and try to block doors, harass workers, and create as much nuisance that will get them noticed (without being arrested).

Now my parents live about 15 miles from Iowa (on the Illinois side). I've been over to Iowa many times for various things, especially in December and January. I can tell you that it can get downright miserable outside at this time of year. Cold, biting winds. Sleet and snow. Misery. If they can hang tough and get something done, more power to them. But I wonder if all members who go are going to be prepared for just how miserable Old Man Winter might make this for them.
