National Presidential Caucus Picks Up More Endorsements

Drumming up publicity in anticipation of the opening of its registration process on Labor Day, the National Presidential Caucus announced today that it has picked up endorsements from former senators, Tim Draper of the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and from the ubiquitous Republican Web 2.0 political strategist David All.

"The National Presidential Caucus was created by a consortium of partisan, bipartisan and non-partisan interests to help Americans prepare for the onrush of a de facto "National Primary" slated for
February 5, 2008, when two presidential candidates may suddenly emerge as "finalists" based on the front-loading of state primaries. If there is going to be a National
Primary, there ought to be a National Caucus first.

On National Presidential Caucus Day -- Friday, December 7, 2007 -- thousands of local, self-organized, Internet-enabled, face-to-face gatherings across the country will convene in caucus to discuss and deliberate candidates and the issues. Participants will voice their preferences at their choice of a local Republican Caucus, Democratic Caucus or at an Open Caucus.

Just prior to the Iowa Caucus and the official primary season, organizations and individuals are invited and encouraged to try to elevate their issues, ideas, and candidate preferences to the forefront of the national dialogue by starting or attending a local caucus on National Presidential Caucus Day."

Vaughn Ververs, (a former National Journal Group colleague) and now CBSNews.com's senior political editor, wrote a pretty good item this June on what the National Presidential Caucus is about.
