Popped my Caucus Cherry

omorkaHadn't gone to the caucus in 2004 because both noms were sewn up by then. Didn't go in 2000 or 1996 because no one told me about them, probably because both noms were sewn up by then. Went tonight because it was important.
Our precinct has 35 delegates to the local convention, and we split 21 for Obama, 14 for Rodham-Clinton. No idea how the primary voting went, or whether our caucus is representative. The Spouse and I both noted that the 50-and-over crowd seemed pretty evenly split, the 30-to-50 crowd seemed to be 2-to-1 for Obama, and almost everyone who looked under 30 was on the Obama side of the room.
The process took forever, mostly because it took an hour to get everyone signed in - there were just under 300 people there, and the organizers looked like they were expecting about 100.
