Fifty years ago, I had a boss, a congressman, that liked to say the difference between a cactus and a caucus, is that on a cactus all the pricks are on the outside.
I was 28 when I attended my first party caucus as an elected official.
At first, I was thankful that the others were all older and seemed to know how to organize things and what to do.
I was young and naïve, but not entirely witless. By meetings end I got it, sharing information about legislation sat in the back of the bus. You were in that bus to discuss ways of driving it over the opposition.
