Funny Caucus Story

•  
• by: NeonNurse

We had such good luck with having a group precinct caucus in 2008 in Prowers County that we decided to do the same thing this time. As the 2nd Vice Chair in Charge of Helping Get Stuff Done (and the only member of the Central Committee with a laptop), I was in charge of using the spreadsheet of registered Dems that State HQ had provided to direct people to their precinct table.

So I was sitting there at a table by the entrance when another member of our CC came bustling up. She wanted to know if I had gotten the email she had forwarded around that morning.

This email was from the Romanoff campaign, warning their supporters about various sneaky tricks they had somehow heard the Bennet people were planning to pull at precinct caucuses. I had read it with interest, wondering why I hadn’t gotten the memo guiding me to nefariousness. (I miss all the fun!)

I told her I had indeed gotten her forwarded email, and that so far I had not seen anything improper happening. I couldn’t resist teasing her a little, though.

“But you know those Bennet people who were going to show up early and pretend to be in charge of stuff?” I waved at myself and my laptop. “I’m afraid I’m one of them.”
