I got quoted in the papers at the caucus
and John got quite a bit more of what he said quoted (the guy liked John, he was following him around for quite awhile). They screwed my quote up a little, though - what I said was that I liked the whole field of candidates this time, and there was no question of having to vote for the lesser of two evils, because they were all good.

(John is JohnYawl, for those who don't know.)

1. *pout*
I finally get misquoted in the papers, and no one reads it.

16. I taunt David by telling him about...
That night at Azteca when we all got nekkid and did a table dance. John and I nearly broke the table! :D

7. Good for you!
I'm a delegate too! We should have a mini-DU meet-up at the county convention. Quite a few of us are going.

11. Right on, Flaming youth!
I went in there really hoping to be a delegate, and was thrilled to be picked. Then again, we had five available slots, and three people who wanted to do it, so it's not as if there was any competition for the slot. :eyes:

I'd like to go on as a delegate to the state convention, but that's highly unlikely - I think the whole 8th Congressional District gets something like 4 delegates. Maybe someday!

Maybe we'll see you on May 1st! Look for a small woman with hip-length red hair, accompanied by a big bearded blond bear. I'll probably be wearing buttons for all the candidates, along with my Impeach Bush and ACLU buttons.

8. Who doesn't like John?
Though who could resist the "Impeach Bush" button? ;-)

10. I could have sold that button several times!
Everyone wanted to know where I'd gotten it! It was VERY popular. Even Will Durst commented on it (I'm still kicking myself that I didn't think to ask Will Durst if he wanted to go get a beer. I've been stealing his lines for years, and he was HILARIOUS. It was a big thrill to get to meet him.)

13. I would have been a delegate for ANY of them!
I really wanted to be a Kucinich delegate, but he ended up with 13% of our precinct (basically, me), and a candidate has to have 15% to get a delegate. *sob* Dennis, I'm sorry - I tried! But I really do feel we have a whole slate of viable candidates here. No holding my nose for any of 'em.

I was also happy Dennis finished 3rd in Washington state. We love ya here, guy!
