Over at WCCO-TV they have that news segment called "Good Question" which reached a high promotional profile when it was fronted by Ben Tracy, whose work on it led to a jump up to the network newsroom.If you're unfamiliar, the premise is to ask a basic, near universal question -- "How Do Water Towers Work?" or "Why Do Your Noses Run When It's Cold?" -- and then get answers on camera and promote the heck out of it to try and get folks to tune in. (It also provides a great opportunity for cute "man on the street" interviews asking passers the answer.)Anyway, if you're curious about why Minnesota has a caucus and not a primary the new "Good Question" guy found out the answer last night, and you likely won't be shocked to discover that the answer is, well, political. Give the story a read or watch it in the Flash player on the same page.
