Holy...I just stumbled upon your blog and this post. Holy crap! My bf and I (he's from NY, I am from MA) were marveling at the caucus process and thought that it sounded like a far better way to do things as opposed to the way elections are run in our states. Now that I have read this....maybe not so much? I give you credit for showing up to that mess though, I know so many people up here who didn't vote and they just had to drive to their local high school, fill in a bubble and throw the ballot in the scantron, so the fact that you actually waited in line through all that bullshit amazes me!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557524279832095106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-48263444886218749582008-02-07T18:38:00.000-06:002008-02-07T18:38:00.000-06:00oh sweetie.

So it is good news to hear that at least in some states it's pretty decisive. <BR/><BR/>So, that sounds like a super miserable evening but I'm proud that you are a fellow caucusing citizen.

My mother went yesterday and had to leave and come back...everyone was amazed there was such a high turnout, and kept saying outloud that, "this is very historical!" of course, they'd just drawn some new lines, so I don't think they were near prepared enough to take all the people that showed up. Hillary won here. Honestly though? WHY are they hardly ever prepared? Every time we do the "vote thing" they are NOT prepared...what is it going to take? I would hate to think of people getting frustrated and then walking away...it's so important to be counted.

Instead, we had a half-assed primary, and I had the stroke of luck to be standing next to the table with the precious piece of typing paper where you got to sign for your vote. I'm really surprised our votes even counted.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how you don't notice that you're getting soaked. I got home and realized my jeans had been dragging on the ground and were wicking up rainwater. Nice.<BR/><BR/>We didn't have any assholes though, so that's good.<BR/><BR/>I wish we'd had the same location.
