Dem caucus at TOPS elementary (Eastlake) was a complete zoo. Need to go to the Zoo, as a result.

BF Day Elementary was packed, probably a good 800-1,000 people. My precinct had 100 voters.
83-Obama
13 - Clinton
4 - Undecided
Obama took 6 delegates to Clinton's 1.

I can't believe you got out of there, went to the Zoo, and then came back and posted before 2pm. At the central library we didn't even split off by precinct until 2pm. Fuckers didn't finish checking in until ~1:50pm.
Show up on time is HARDDDDDDDDDD.

Ballard at the Odd Fellows Hall (lower/central ballard precints) split us off into precincts as soon as we walked in the door. It was already standing room only 20 minutes before things were scheduled to start. It was hot, stuffy, and quickly became odoriforous. I wouldn't be surprised if we exceeded the posted capacity of the building.
After we got started, it took a long time for them to get the initial count. For my precinct it was 80% or so Obama, 1 delegate undecided, and the rest Clinton. Then there were a couple speeches, one pro Obama and one pro-Clinton. After that it was opened up for discussion for 10 minutes and I nearly expected a pro-clinton guy to get in a fistfight with an anti-clinton guy, but they calmed down. One undecided switched to Obama.
When they started asking for money, I had been there for over an hour and decided I needed to get going.
It was my first caucus. It was very cool to see so many people I recognize from the neighborhood there, and it was fun to discuss the pros and cons of each candidate.

District 1458 (High Point, West Seattle) had 91 people sign in at the Caucus at High Point Elementary. It went 74 10 7; Obama, Hillary, Undecided.
Some neighbors spoke, mostly pro Obama. There was a fat 70yo lady seemingly running our section's meeting and it was mostly lowkey. I started to itch with all the frivolous process and self-importance bubbling about, so we took off asap.
Less than 200yds from our neighborhood, we were the only ones to ride bikes over. Most walked, more than a few drove.

I would have done that, but at our precinct we were told that our vote wouldn't be counted unless we stayed past the 2nd tally. So we all stayed, despite the heat, crowds, and lack of coordination. Let me tell you, when three people are trying to talk to three different groups in a worship hall, and not a big one at that, some confusion ensues. It seemed to me that chaos reigned supreme, since the poll workers had barely any knowledge of what was going on, and out of the ~150 people in my precinct, about 85% were college students, probably 90% had never caucused before, and those 10% who had had never seen a turnout anything remotely resembling the one yesterday.

back to writing & publishing dim-witted white-supremacist newsletters. Libertarians /= Racists, although Ron Paul somehow missed the memo. Google "Ron Paul, Newsletter" for more info.
