Here's a brief account of what went on in the precinct that my sister went to last night. She told me that she's one of three Edwards delegates from her precinct who are going to the county convention, along with five Dean and three Kerry delegates, FYI.
"Yes, I am an Edwards delegate - we got the Kucinich, Gephardt, Clark and Lieberman voters to join us at the caucus. We had really obnoxious Dean people at our caucus and they outnumbered us and I think most people joined us because the Dean people were such jerks. They know nothing about politics, that's for sure. We beat out the Kerry people, but we wanted Kerry to do well also - we really would like to see Dean out of the race. He's such a political moron. The most rabid, rich Republican in town came to the 6th precinct caucus and stood for Dean - they know he's the easy one to beat - we had a lot of Republicans turn out to do that. (I do the same thing to them too.) I am really happy about Edwards. We were only hoping to displace Gephardt and make 3rd. To get second was way beyond our expectaions and to see Dean get 18% - yippee!"
As they say, politics ain't beanbag... ;-)
