Seriously folks...this week we have had about 20 phone calls, each day has about 6-10 pieces of mail (printed and "personal" endorsement letters from friends), and an average of 3 canvassers a day!!!
Seriously,
YES, I will caucus.
YES, I am a democrat and will be at my caucus.
YES, I KNOW where it is.
NO, I don't need a ride.
NO, I don't need a babysitter BUT I am bringing my 14 year old "baby" with to see this in action (and he is bringing his new camcorder to record it all)
NO, I don't know who I am caucusing for.
NO, I do not want to hear about how your candidate is the best.
I will feel so forgotten tomorrow  . BUT, Right now I am the most popular voter on the planet...UNDECIDED! |
I've never met someone who was undecided when leaving for a poll, or caucus, where s/he will cast a ballot.
Can I ask you what will finally determine who you caucus for? Do you understand the issues and where each candidate stands on them (to me, the Dems seem so close on all them I haven't taken the time to sort them out). I can't envision heading out to vote/caucus without knowing - I'm one of those who spends days weighing issues even on bond votes - and I'm really curious what factors will go in to your decision.
Of course, it will be over and done before you get a chance to respond, given it's already nearly 7 on the east coast.
