precinct 1330

Walked down the my caucus place with Evil Cat and Corneilius this afternoon. Corneilius was feeling a bit under the weather, and took off after he signed up and registered his vote. We crowded into an elementary school gym and separated into about eight, maybe ten precincts. Of a hundered people in my precinct (three times more than in 2004), five were undecided. The rest went to Senator's Clinton and Obama. No Edwards voters at all in my precinct. I caucused for Dodd.

Of the six delegates up for grabs in my precinct, Obama took four and Clinton took two in the first tally. As I was leaving the gym, I heard another precinct announce 5-1 for Obama.

Evil Cat stuck around in the gym to wait for another tally while I wandered out to the PTA bake sale and bought some cofee. I hung out in the hall reading a class project of short biographies of civil rights leaders stapled to a bulletin board. The one about Medgar Evers was my favorite. After a few minutes without any change in the delegate split, we took off for the safety of Liberty House. We didn't stick around long enough to see the final tally, but I'm pretty certain Obama won big at my site.

All in all, it was a great experience. I hope Washington continues to be a caucus state.

just a thought

Presidential politics is like a teevee in a bar. We all sit and stare at the fucker while more important things go on all around us.
