Es un recinto urbano del caucus demócrata de 1988.
Voters in Iowa gathered in a high school auditorium to select delegates in this precinct caucus. The cameras recorded the entire event from the filing in, to the instructions to the participants, to the actual bargaining and occasional disagreements within the groups. Supporters for each of the candidates met in separate parts of the auditorium, counted their supporters, and elected some of their members as delegates. In this caucus, the Gephardt supporters were too few and thus were "nonviable." The Simon and Jackson groups tried to woo them, but the group, after some discussion and bargaining, joined with the Babbitt supporters and received a delegate in exchange. This program allows one to see grassroots democracy in action as well as what a caucus really is.
