...but still, you'd think we'd have something coming in.
Maybe the establishment is busy playing with the numbers to see if they can pull off some funny business without too many people noticing.

at my caucus. Bernie people counted the masses of Bernie people, Hillary people counted the smaller group of Hillary people then they switched and compared. Then the counted like that again and compared but had sections numbered so they could just recount the sections that were not matching. It was very well done but it took quite a long time. If you left and they needed to recount then you lost your vote. So we sat and waited

It was a nice and very excited group. If they were all done like that it will take a bit longer because our caucus is not as large as many other locations.

I arrived an hour early and the line was long. I had to wait for about 30 minutes to get inside the rather small theater on the WSU campus. Berniestas had a substantially larger share of the audience and substantially larger vocal cords. I didn't particularly want to yell (I'm a little older) and just wanted to vote so when they said that people could leave if they wanted to by signing their name to one group or the other. We were assured that our vote would be counted. So I did that.

When I left, the lines outside were out of sight. It looked like a half mile of people. I have no idea how they accommodated all the people in that line. If they did, I believe it was a tremendous win for Bernie. Of course, that's just my impression. In any event, I can see why it would take so long to wrap up the caucus. It was beautiful, mild weather too BTW.
