That rawked my caucus!

So, at the rist of being heckled and chastised and being thrown into a huge political debate, I'm going to tell you about my grand caucus experience. This was my first caucusing experience and I must admit, I didn't go because I thought that my vote was going to change the world or really even make a difference, but mainly because I wanted to know what the heck the big deal is with the Iowa caucus. Why is everyone so concerned about it? I still don't have an answer to that question, but I did have a rawkin' good time at the caucus.
My only regret is not leaving earlier to get there. The caucus for our district was held at an elementary school. True to form, this chool had almost NO parking. It was absolute hell trying to weave around people in the ice and snow trying to find a spot to park in. Then, once I DID find a spot (8 blocks away), the building was PACKED with people who didn't know where they were supposed to be (myself included). There were HUNDREDS of people and one little guy with a laptop trying to direct groups of people to where they needed to be. We finally got the the basement library and I still needed to register. Registering was easy....but the lines sucked and it was hot down there.
I found the Hillary section (deal with it) and stood there to wait. I looked around me and noticed that everyone had Hillary buttons and shirts and lapel pins and banners. I was jeal. One lady asked me who I was voting for and I said "Hill Dog" and she gave me a high five. Seriously. She was a little old lady too. Cute stuff.
It was fun to see people all giggly and chatty like they were best friends with complete strangers who just happened to be voting for the same person.
There was a lot of counting and hand raising and a little cheering and bantering, but when all was said and done, Hillary, Obama and Edwards each got 4 votes from our district. It was a draw.
After the voting was over, we stayed for some pictures and such and one lady came up to me and gave me her Hillary button. Yay!
