WE CAME, WE SAW, WE CAUCUSED

We came, we saw, we caucused.
Today was the Colorado caucus and Dave and I showed up at our local high school to participate. We had never caucused before. Being from Arizona we just voted in the past. It was 12 degrees outside and icy when we arrived. The high school was packed with people - different precincts in different classrooms. There were 60 to 70 people in our classroom plus lots of children. I knew a good number of the folks in the room from church. We voted on pieces of paper for whom we wanted for President. Two gals volunteered to tally the votes and that was that. Romney swept our room with 44 votes, McCain 12 votes, Huckabee fewer votes, and Paul 4 votes. A man came around to each precinct classroom and collected the vote information and phoned it in to a central location. It appears that Romney swept Douglas County entirely.
After the vote, they signed-up volunteers from our precinct for county delegates and for election judges. I volunteered to be an alternate county delegate for my precinct. This means that on March 1, I will show up at the high school and if one of the delegates does not show up I will get to vote for county level stuff.
