Report from my caucus.

Overwhelming turnout for my district and by the look of things the voters were about 3 to 1 for Bernie. This was Lafayette, in Boulder County, CO. My precinct vote: 84 for Bernie and 24 for Hillary. My son's precinct vote was roughly the same. By the time I got home MSNBC was calling Colorado for Bernie.

I love going to caucus. I see so many people I know and others I've lost touch with and get to see again; there are lots of hugs. Also love the organized chaos.

I like our caucus (I'm in Iowa) - you get to feel more involved I the process.

Even if it's just connecting with others and experiencing the process.

The spokesperson for the outnumbered Hillary faction talked about Hillary's experience as why she was for Hillary. Unfortunately, not all experience is good experience. Hillary's 3rd way experience doesn't work for the 99%.
