Good lord this isnt even close.. This is why having a digital media team is important. Rand's video is the only interesting/inspiring one. Man I still feel that is the best campaign video of this election BY FAR. Instead of having Rand stand in front of a wall, get students in the video. Love it.

Wow, thank you Secretary of State Paul Pate.



Secretary of State Pate unveils Caucus 101 curriculum for Iowa HS Students

ANKENY – Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate introduced a brand new curriculum for Iowa high school students today. The course, entitled Caucus 101, is aimed at involving students, parents and the community in civic engagement while educating them about Iowa's unique role in the political process.

"We want to encourage participation of all Iowans in our electoral process," Secretary Pate said. "This is where democracy begins, at the grassroots. Young people, for far too long, have not been active in the electoral process. This is an opportunity for them to get involved on the ground floor."

The curriculum is available for anyone to use and can be downloaded at www.Caucus101.com. This non-partisan, seven-step course has the approval of the Iowa Democratic Party, the Republican Party of Iowa and the Iowa Council for the Social Studies.

The seven-step curriculum includes:

Iowa Caucus history and a focus on Iowa's First-in-the-Nation status
The role of political parties
The media's role in reporting elections
The role of special interest groups in the electoral process
The differences between the Democratic and Republican caucuses
Mock Caucus
The effects of the Iowa Caucuses

There is a 30, 60 and 90-minute lesson plan for each step, providing teachers with plenty of options to fit whichever parts of the curriculum they want to use in their classroom. Caucus 101 also fulfills the Iowa Core requirement for Social Studies.

"This gives them the basic information of what a caucus is and how it operates. It gets them comfortable with it so they might want to actually participate. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of textbooks out there about caucuses because Iowa is so unique. I felt it was important to fill that gap," Secretary Pate said.

The Caucus 101 curriculum is written by Iowans, for Iowans. Secretary Pate partnered with Adam Arthur from Des Moines Lincoln High School, Canada Snyder from Des Moines Center Academy and Joseph Nydle from Des Moines Hoover High School.

Another unique facet of the curriculum is messages from the presidential candidates geared directly toward Iowa students. The Iowa Secretary of State's Office reached out to each presidential campaign to send a 90-second video specifically for Caucus 101. Those videos will be released at a later date.

Teach them how a caucus works, and then show them all of those candidate videos. Couldn't be a better set up if it were being organized by Rand's own campaign.

And the 17 year olds can caucus as long as they'll be 18 by November 2016.

The Bush one was by far the worst. He can't sell himself to anyone but the donors. Something he pushes in their face by distastefully encouraging them to donate to him at the end of the video. Come on! High school students donating to Bush?!? What planet does he live on? And this being pushed in their faces while they are attending their compulsory public classes? Sad. Just sad.

I love how you don't see or hear Rand anywhere in the video but it's hands down the most effective video.

Rand is waaaay out in front on this one lol.

I'm sure Bernie will dupe some kid with his socialist issues being that the students are spoon fed this stuff daily.

It's between Rand and Hilary... my only fear is that Rand's came off too generic because he's not in it. Not clear who it's for.

I don't want to cut High School kids short, but many of them if they do caucus probably just want to caucus for the "cool" or "hip" candidate that relates to them. Wow, am I showing my age there.

You have to admit, out of all the videos, Rand's looks and feels young, cool and modern.

Another horrible video, this one from the Kasich's campaign while Cruz's video I believe is second best to only Rand's video. Final ranking of videos to me...

1) Paul
2) Cruz
3) Hillary
4) Sanders
5) Bush
6) Rubio
7) Huckabee
8) Carson
9) Fiorina
10) Trump
11) Christie
12) Santorum
13) Kasich
14) Jindal
15) Graham

Here is hoping Rand has a big impact in the high school kids that can vote in Iowa. ;)
