Uncommitted all the way, baby!


It'll be interesting to see what happens. This is my first caucus (recent WA relocation) and I'm pretty excited about it. Should be entertaining, to say the very least.

1. Have a great time!!
Are you really going to try to stay uncommitted???

I don't know if the WA caucus is like ours in Iowa. If so, you will be a VERY popular
person in the room! Both camps will be lobbying you seven ways to Sunday!!! You'll
get so much attention, and you'll be swarmed!!

I can't wait to hear how this all shakes out for you. Undoubtedly, you will have a very
exciting, thrilling experience.

Remember, Obama is a Constitutional Scholar, and two of his primary goals, once he gains
office, is to restore Habeas Corpus and end illegal wiretaps. :) And close Guantanamo!

Sorry, had to do a little pre-caucus lobbying. I was an Obama precinct captain, and it's
hard not to.

Ok! Have fun!! Please report back here and tell us the entire story! I'll be watching
DU for ya.

:hi:

5. That's why I'm jonesing to go...
My understanding (I think I have this right) is that you choose a candidate when you sign in, and somehow the sign-in vote counts.

Maybe I don't know jack-squat about it. I'm mostly feeling rambunctious and looking to argue.


Uncommitteds of the World, Unite! Or not, you know, whatever you want to do.

10. Yes....when you sign in....
...you are "counted". This is so the powers-that-be have a total count of everyone
in the room.

Then, when Obama votes are counted, and Hillary votes are counted--that count should equal
the number of people who initially walked into the room.

They'll explain everything to you. In our caucus, almost 30 percent of the people there
had never caucused before. So you will be one of many, many participants who is there
for the first time.

You're a caucus virgin!

Please remember... Obama's health plan does a great deal to cut costs...it's a good solution! :hi:
He voted against the Iraq war when everyone else was kow towing to Bushler! :)

Have a blast!

8. LOL - that's the only reason I'm going!
I'm less than optimistic about the candidates, so I'm gonna latch onto some Edwards/Kucinich folk (assuming there are any).
