Unfamiliar Feeling

[saavedra77]

I have a long history of supporting also-rans in presidential elections. The candidates I gravitate toward rarely survive the primaries.

So I felt weirdly giddy to for once be in the majority--in fact the overwhelming majority--at yesterday's Washington State caucuses.

In fact, my candidate seems to be riding a pretty impressive wave of support, right now, nationwide.

Of course, the nomination remains hotly contested.

And, regardless of who gets the nod in Denver this summer, I'm expecting a bruising general-election campaign.

For the moment, though, that unfamiliar feeling of being on the winning side is pretty satisfying.

Also? I signed up to be an Obama delegate at the upcoming 43rd Legislative District caucus.

Yay! I feel the same way. It's a really nice feeling.

Be prepared for a long day at the district caucus. Take food and something to drink. I'm going to mine, but as an alternate, so I don't need to stay unless I want to.

Thanks for the advice! I imagined that the district caucuses would be much more time-consuming, since we'll be discussing the platform, as well as candidates. It should be interesting. But I'll be sure to bring some sustenance along ...
