My wife and I have been following the primary season since the very beginning - we had been looking forward to finally participating in our state's caucus on Feb. 7. I say "had" because it was a terrible experience for us - we didn't get to participate. We didn't do anything wrong, we got told to go to the wrong place! After wandering around a local church for 10 minutes and not finding anyone we rushed home and went to Howard Dean's website awhere we found the right place to go listed - we arrived right before 10:30, the cut off point for participation. Quickly we ran around looking for whoever was in charge so we could join our precinct. NO ONE KNEW WHO WAS IN CHARGE. We kept running into people in the exact same situation as us, I'd ask them if they knew who was in charge, they who say they didn't know and were also looking for who was in charge so they could join their precinct. The whole thing was a mess, all the precincts had split up into different rooms and spread throughout the cacus site (a local school), few of the rooms were labelled with what precint was in them, so there was no way we could find our precinct without going into the rooms and interrupting. Which we did, but often when we went in and asked the people in the rooms didn't even know what precinct they were in, nor did they know who was in charge. Eventually we found someone we knew from work who led us to their precinct captain - who told us we were screwed. We could watch but we couldn't participate. It was a very frustrating experience, I'm extremely pissed off at the local Democrats for their shoddy organization and really upset that after months of anticipation and weighing the different candidates we didn't get to provide any input. We never did find our precint or the person in charge and left in disgust.
