My Caucus - 902 Mostly Warm Bodies

[lsanderson]

Wuz raucous. I never left the sign-in table. I got really cranky with the delegates because I unknowingly got delegated to take down all of their effing names. It would just be so nice if the caucus there behind the closed door could, in some official manner, ask this, rather than have people wandering out ask if I could start a list for them because, well, they had to run off to the hospital... And then, because a line formed, they asked that it would be faster if I used more pieces of paper, and I said, "Yes, it would be." But, I'm keeping them all in this spiral bound notebook because I have 25 other lose pieces of paper that I really don't want to mix them up with, which we used for sign-in sheets after we ran out of the "proper" forms. And the ex-council person telling me how to do it? Didn't appreciate it so much. DFL sending out precinct maps that you could not read? Didn't appreciate that much either. Blowing the number of caucus goers? Didn't appreciate it. School having the front doors locked? Didn't appreciate. The Obama volunteer that went down to tell people to go waay around to the back of the school? Didn't appreciate it so much, although I wasn't there then. (We're talking a two block walk... and I thought they went down to OPEN the door...) Apparently, just like the DFL they don't always the cream of the crop...

So, who was the ex-council person in question?

The guy leading the caucus was nice enough, but really disorganized, even by DFL standards. It would have been more interesting having a Kevin Standlee or Ben Yalow or Mark Olson run the caucus. Bloodier, but much more entertaining.

I'm slow. Tell me the next time you get a chance, if you think of it, will ya. Thanks for noting your experience. I found the the spate of caucus posts grounding.
