Side Trips
Noun or verb?
I got to thinking about that Monday
evening. Were we caucusing, or
attending the caucus? Turns out, both are
correct. The word can be used as both a
noun and a verb.
My husband and
I attended the Republican
caucus in
Sheldon for the first
time. Growing up
in a publishing and
politically interested
family, I was surprised
to learn Jeff had never
attended. The first and
last time I attended a
caucus was as a young
reporter, not as a voter.

WAGNER
To date myself, the names on the ballot that
year were George Bush, Bob Doyle and Pat
Robertson. (George Bush didn’t need to be
identified by middle initials at that time.)
The Sheldon High School auditorium
was packed last night, and with so many
people in attendance there was great energy
before things got started. After listening to
three-minute speeches in support of the
candidates, we were handed simple ballots
and cast our vote by simply checking a box.
It felt simple and uncomplicated, which
was nice. By the time we got home the national
news was covering the results, and we
were in front of the television for the next
couple of hours. We also got a good education
— learning the difference between a
caucus and primary, and listening to the
times when the Iowa caucus winner has
eventually become the next president.
Our 15-year-old daughter watched much
of it with us and asked good questions.
As Ted Cruz stepped onto the platform to
speak and was being congratulated by sup-
Iowa porters, Information
PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS she stopped mid-sentence to say,
“Hey, isn’t that Steve King?”
Apparently she’s been paying attention.
