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.

  1. Barack Obama 08
    Change you can believe in.
    Pres. Clinton does not represent change. President Obama does. Obama cares about what you care about. Make the better choice. Obama!

  2. Depending on the change one is able to generate. Could be good or could be bad. We know Hillary and Bill Clinton for their many years of service for the community and for the country. They're the kind of folks that we can trust to take care of our home. Clinton is the most ready candidate to do the task, from day one. We need a president who has the experience, especially in the crucial and difficult time like this. Yes, she's the one!
