I had to walk through snowbanks to get tonight's GOP caucus at Wayzata MS, the cars were parked so far away. Just for my ward alone, there was no room to vote and we had to shuffle to the cafeteria. No one expected this, least of all the person who only printed up the 20 ballots they thought would be enough. This makes me think of when I was running a rural county in Wisconsin. I never had enough people to fill a phone booth. There are 95 people here just for one ward. If Hennepin Co. is anything like this, my head is swimming. Now I'm not naive enough to think the great turnout is because of Minnesotan's heightened sense of civics. They are here because there's a contest. Now all I have to figure out is if everyone's here because they're scared of McCain or Hillary. STRAW POLL UPDATE: Romney-51, McCain-14, Paul-10, Huckabee-2. Cross-posted at Freedom Dogs. |
