Iowa Caucus

Randy, Micaela and I experienced our first caucus tonight. It was PACKED at Valley High School where there were three precincts meeting with half the school Republicans and half that other party. :) I think the people running the caucus were overwhelmed by the turnout because it seemed a little disorganized. It was hard to hear what was happening because the guy running our precinct didn't have a microphone and we were sharing half a gym with another precinct. It was an interesting experience especially when Mitt Romney himself came in and shook some hands. Our precinct seemed to be heavy Mitt supporters. It was cool to see him in person...even though he's not our guy. So glad to see so many turn out and encouraging to see how well Huckabee did. I was a little surprised by the Democratic numbers. Our precinct needed a couple of moms to help organize but all in all we are glad we went.
