The crazy complicated Caucuses went pretty smoothly this morning.
I am so amazed with the level of civic sense and responsibility in front of such an amateur level management of the event. I mean, I really appreciate the volunteer effort, but even more the dignity with which everybody copes with such a complicated and disorienting meeting.
Anyway....
It seems like the audience was mainly composed of Kerryers and Deniacs. From my little standpoint I couldn't catch any other preference.
I was surprised by how little attention Edwards paid to this Washington caucus; there was no signs, flyers and even less volunteer to support him. Even if you were inclined to give him a vote you'd probably get cold feet for such a frozen welcome.
