First caucus report: A lifetime experience
We arrived to a packed Pleasant View Elementary caucus site at 6:25 p.m. My brother joined the group for Obama, and I joined the corner for Edwards.
The group going for Edwards was nervous. John Flowers, 69, warned that “Edwards needs to come out with better representation or else he’s done.” In a room filled with 421 voters, Edwards needed at least 63 people to remain viable.
The group for Obama was so large it needed to be marched out of the cafeteria and back in again to be counted. Proudly marching, they gave their war cry, “Obama! Obama!”
In the end, Obama received four delegates, Hillary received two, and Edwards received one. The experience was one that will last a lifetime and truly pave the way for future voting.
