[edit] Democratic or DFL?

Since the party's official name is the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and caucuses are run by state parties (even though such is seldom used in the national media), should this be Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor caucuses, 2008? Or should it remain as is due to the media use of simply "Democratic"? (Same would apply for North Dakota and Democratic-NPL) CrazyC83 (talk) 22:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] who can participate

Icorrected the section on who can participate to more closely match the official declaration. That included removing the phrase "not voting in Republican caucuses" (which is nowhere in the DFL declaration). But that phrase included a link to the Minnesota Republican party, which would be deleted. So I retained that link, by putting it into a new statement down in the Caucus night section.
