I caucused

I caucused by Corinne S.

I'm not sure you can use caucus as a verb, but I will anyway. ;-) My caucus was in the gym of the local elementary school and there were 12 precints meeting there. It was very crowded and steamy hot--a lot busier than our 2004 caucus. There were about 100 people in my precinct and we had 5 delegates. We sent 4 for Obama and 1 for Clinton. I put forward a resolution to choose our delegates using the primary instead of a caucus for greater inclusiveness and to avoid the "rounding" that happens at the precinct level. The caucuses are interesting, invigorating, and build a sense of local community. I still think primaries are the way to go Gor delegate allocation though. Hell, if I had my druthers we'd abandon the delegate system altogether and have a populist vote nationally. I'd also love to see all of the state primaries on the same day across the country. It would be harder on the candidates in terms of visiting all the states, but it would even the field in terms of influence between the states.
