An incredible thang
Last night the caucus event was truly an incredible thing. Traffic on Summit and Grand was backed up from Ramsey Jr. High (2blocks west of snelling avenue) to Dale st. Even though they had multiple doors open we waited in lines that were blocks long just to get into the building. My precinct which met in a small classroom in the basement of the building had over 300 people come to vote for the presidential preference and over 100 stayed to show preference for the senate candidates. My precinct went 87% Obama, 12% Clinton, and 1% Edwards. It was an incredible night.

We had the same experience at our caucus at Mahtomedi High School. Traffic jams to get in, long lines, crowds of involved citizens. It was fun to talk to our neighbors as we waited. Democracy in action!
