Picture this:
Tuesday evening. You inch forward in your car amidst dozens of cars filing into the muddy parking lot. A snowstorm is threatening, and the wind has a wicked bite - but you stand, dedicated, with a thousand other people in a long line that snakes around a huge building. After about half an hour you finally get to trudge inside and enjoy the warmth of thousands of people pressed shoulder to shoulder, cheering and glowing with excitement.
No, it's not a Jayhawks basketball game. It's the State Democratic Caucus!
It was very exciting to be in a room full of people who were so eager to create (here comes that c-word again) change and exercise our great privilege to vote. Enough dumb-ocracy -- we're ready for Democracy. Here's to a great Year of the Rat and a thrilling election year!

Maybe it should be year of "Out with the Rat"! Don't see how anybody could possibly make a bigger mess. Hopefully we can get somebody in, willing to shift gears and get US turned around.
Its a good thing all you caucusers are dedicated enough to freeze in the long line to express your views. You go girl!
Looks like fun!
Did you get your cash payments directly from the candidates or will your check arrive in the mail, later?
