Raucous Caucus

[libertango]

Well, not really. I just wanted a Subject line I'll recognize later.

Anyway, just like four years ago, akirlu and I are delegates to the next level up, the legislative district (LD) caucus. That time around it was for Dean -- this time it'll be for Obama.

Our precinct ended up with 26 people. This is quite an increase from Archwood/Redmond four years ago, when our precinct had about 5? 6? On that order.

I know the exact count because our Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) wasn't able to attend, so we elected a caucus chair. Who happened to be, um, me. (Like Opus, I think it was mostly because I looked like a ripe steamer at the time.) Turns out, though, as we met Cheryl, our PCO's wife, that the two live...

...directly across our driveway. They're our neighbors.

("Oh? We live between Temperance and Cedar, too!")

The LD caucuses are Saturday, April 5, at 10:00AM. (I'm partly putting that there to make it searchable by me later.)

Obama won state-wide at about a 2-1 margin. That matches our own precinct, although we were 62% vs 38%, and the rounding led to our four delegates being split 2-2.

Just a quick pointer out. Check out cmpriest's caucus report, and her caucus photos on Flickr. I particularly like, "Eldergoths 4 Obama!!!!", but there are many good ones.

We had 65 people at our caucus, and six delegates. 5-1 for Obama. And Lisa and I are both delegates. See you (possibly) at the County convention.

Perhaps later today you can explain to me and Suzle what the difference is between the county and the LD caucuses. In King we have many LDs but some of them overlap two counties, while in other parts of the state some LDs cover several counties. Which caucuses do what, which precede which? And like that.

ym "Archstone" and in my case "alternate". I do feel damn' sad that I didn't think to make up an Eldergoths 4 Obama sign or button, tho.
