Caucusing in Denver (Morely MS)
I attended my first ever caucus as a volunteer as I am a registered
Independent. It was exhilarating and very empowering. The turn-out
seemed to be heavily Obama leaning and the number of people attending
blew away all expectations of the Democratic Party. It was the presence
of the Obama Help Team that pulled it all together.
Lots of naysayers want to paint Obama as an Establishment Candidate - a candidate of the Rich White Male(tm). Yet the people I saw attending this caucus were anything but establishment, and while there were white males, there were plenty of other demographic groups - especially plenty of elderly voters.
If you base it on the demographics of that event - the Establishment Candidate was overwhelmingly Clinton.
