well, I went to my caucus in CO last night

[blondie58]

it was very interesting, especially as I've not been to one before. I got there really early, which I heard was good, as parking was tight and sometimes only available at quite a distance. I tried to help people find the rooms that their caucus was in, as it was held in my daughter's high school, so I am familiar with the layout.

Our group was probably 65% for Obama. It was interesting to watch the Hillary supporters. They are really passionate about their candidate. Now, as for myself, I was really a JE supporter, but I didn't want to "waste" a vote on him. I just think that Hillary has much less of a chance of winning than Obama.

I signed up to be a delegate at the county thing being held next month. I also found it very interesting that we voted on a couple of resolutions to be added by the Dems.

1- a resolution for health care- sorry, don't remember the H #
2- a resolution to IMPEACH Bush and Cheney! This brought loud cheers from my group.

All in all, it was a fun night! I befriended an older lady, named "Schookie" who was an avid Hillary fan. She was quite a character and gave a very impassioned plea for votes for Hillary, stressing how much 'experience' Hillary has. I gave her a hard time when she had to go smoke a cigarette before caucus reminding her that she needed to be at least 100 feet away from the school. I told her where the kids go to smoke- only about 1/2 mile out the door!

It is really nice to see people care so much about the future of their country.

1. Excellent!

What part of the state? I'm a native of Colorado Springs with family all over the state.

2. West Arvada- specifically Arvada West High

but I grew up in Lakewood. I am a second generation native and my parents were high school sweethearts from Wheat Ridge High.

3. Ah, yes. The Wheat Ridge Farmers. (are they still called that?)

My sister lived in Lakewood for 20 years; my nephew (her son) still does.

I worked at the Denver Federal Center while in college and grew to know the area quite well.

4. yep, they are! Although they have a nice, newer building across from Crown Hill Park

I work on the grounds of the Fed Center- at the Post Office and my high school had their graduation at Red Rocks- it was so cool. The Fed Center is going to change, though- they are building a new St. Anthony's hospital there. I love Colorado Springs, too- it is so pretty. My stepdaughter lived down there for a couple of years. I don't like all of the traffic, though- for that matter in the entire state.
