Hi Mephisto,
I just got back from our local caucus. Although our man didn't win, it was still TREMENDOUSLY uplifting.. Kerry won 55% to 22%, with Edwards 12%.. Dennis Kucinich got 4% from a very energized group.. The place was packed with I estimate about 3,000 people.. Just HUGE compared to the past. Held in a large high school gym. The floor was packed as well as much of the bleachers.. Our Senator, Harry Reid, usually very low key, spoke with passion to get BUSH the hell out.
All I heard was "Anybody but Bush" and "Electibility" So many potential Dean or even Kucinich voters went with Kerry. But we didn't waiver, we hung in for Dean. And I am moving on to the county convention...
What was really heart warming to me was to see two neighbors, I know somewhat, but didn't know their politics, I would have guessed to be somewhat conservative.. And they were there!. And we also met new people from our general area, our precinct, with the same "Anybody but Bush" feelings...
I would say, Bush is the "Great Uniter", alright, as he says.. He has UNITED tens of million of NEW people with the old Democrat core. PLENTY to get him the hell out of the White House in November..
