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.

Bio

I started out with a desire to be an architect fueled by the Briggs Meyer results of a test I was told I was too young for. INTP - The Architect. That drove me quite far even after I decided that the act of architecture creation was too simple or rather limited in the number of reasonable permutations which is further limited by economic power. What came next was this innate desire to build systems of people. Now here I am, building away.
