Democrats sit and watch

One of the more amusing sights at Republican caucuses this morning was of Democratic volunteers watching nervously.

They weren't necessarily worried about who would win the Republican half of the caucus, but whether the Republicans would complete their caucus in time so they could prepare for their election.

"We have to wait until they tear it down," said Democratic volunteer Daylon Blind, 24. "I hope they do it as quickly as possible."

The Republican caucus was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. -- two and a half hours before their counterparts' turn - but confusion about how to register, how to elect delegates and how to vote delayed the process, which party insiders had hoped would take just 30 to 45 minutes.

Not quite. The Republican caucus took about an hour.
