Primary Update

Well…  I guess no one wanted to talk politics 🙂  I got busy this week and did not get to follow-up after Primary day.  The caucus took way longer than expected and I (along with many other people) were concerned about if the process was being done right.  I didn’t get home until after 10pm.  There was really no one assigned to guide it, but we fortunately had a few people that knew how it was supposed to work…kinda.  They had to assign a temporary caucus president, seargent-at-arms and secretaries.   I ended up volunteering to help the secretary help everyone sign the caucus sheets b/c it was more than one person could handle.  They did not expect that many people to show up to the caucus.  Apparently that was the most Democrats that had voted in my county ever (the county is heavily Republican and ALL of the local elected officials are Republican.  There weren’t even any local democrats who ran).   After all was said and done, I ended up volunteering to be a delegate that would go to the County caucus.  From the County caucus, they choose delegates to go to the State Caucus, and from there they choose delegates to go to the Democratic National Convention.  I probably will not go past the County, but I am looking forward to the experience and learning more about what seems to be a very complicated (and often unorganized) process.  So… I still remain excited about the campaign and how our political system works (or doesn’t work).  It’s also interesting to feel excited about supporting a candidate, especially being an Independent and not having a party affiliation since I first registered to vote ten years ago.

William is headed into town tonight, so it should be a great weekend.  I hope everyone else has a nice weekend too!
