A couple of months ago David All wrote about the National Presidential Caucus, a very cool exercise in democracy that is pushing to get all American citizens — not just those lucky enough to live in Iowa or New Hampshire — involved in the process of selecting our next president. (The project is a client of David’s.)
This Friday, on National Caucus Day, the organizers’ hard work and optimism will come to fruition.
To crib from the project’s about page:
NPC Caucuses are 2-hour meetings anytime between 3pm and 8pm local time on National Caucus Day, December 7, 2007.
Organizers facilitate a discussion round where participants may each speak to their most important issues and to establish a group consensus on the top 2-3 issues for that caucus. Then, a second round of discussion to express candidate preferences.
The organizer then posts the results at www.NationalCaucus.com for aggregation and general reporting.
Events are scheduled around the country; go here to find a caucus near you.

If this ever happens officially nationwide (instead of polling), I'm not sure how you get around the constitution or whether you even should, but if it generates discussion about the role of the constitution in a constitutional republic, that is beneficial.
