Here’s the short version of the results at the Prowers County Assembly. The original county totals from Caucus were 26 Romanoff, 13 Bennet and 3 undecided.
We had quite a few who had previous commitments and could not come, plus we lost one couple because the wife had a stroke and will be in a rehabilitation center for quite a while.
The votes did not change much by ratio. None of the Us came. Romanoff ended up with 16 votes, and Bennet had 7. Because our small county only had 4 delegates to choose, we had to ’round off’. So we will be sending 3 delegates for Romanoff and 1 for Bennet (me).
I mention the details because I think it shows how much ‘slip’ there is between original numbers and what the delegate count will be. Maybe I am getting the math processes wrong, but it does seem to me that the rounding-up means the gap between the two contenders is smaller than it appears in the mirror.
But now for the main event! Because I am The Lone Delegate, the guy from our local radio station who was covering our assembly asked me for some sound bites. I expanded on what I’d said during the assembly, that we have two such good candidates that it is going to be hard to choose, like deciding whether to go on a date with Brad Pitt or George Clooney.
During the long ride home from Holly, I got to thinking. Since I am for Bennet, and since the actor match-up was my idea, do I get to say which actor represents Bennet? Because of the two, I prefer Clooney. But I have to admit that George would be a better match to play Andrew in his bio-pic.
So — should Clooney play the Romanoff role? Should Brad be Bennet? Or are there better matches I’m not thinking of?

No question. My wife and daughters love Clooney, but their feelings for Pitt go far beyond that. By the same measure, when I say Romanoff they reply “the cute one?”
Personality-wise, Bennet seems to fit Clooney better. Pitt really doesn’t match either in that regard, but I think he is closer to Andrew than to Bennet
There were 19 votes for Romanoff, not 16. My notes were still out in the car when I wrote this. Sux to get old…although of course it beats the alternative.
