The Colorado Haucus, I mean Caucus (Sienna keeps calling it a "haucus") was on Tuesday night. What is a caucus you ask? I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. I've never been too politically minded. Sure I have some opinions, and I've always looked at the candidates and their views on a few issues that I feel to be important. And I've voted every chance I've had since turning 18 (12 years ago! Ahhhhh!). But this year, and at this crazy time for our country, I feel the pressure of just how important this Presidential election will be.
So Jeff and I headed to our caucus on Tuesday night, over at Arvada West High School (that was a trip in and of itself, walking through the halls of my old high school!). We found our Caucus meeting area and then found our precinct group. There were 28 people in our precinct. After electing precinct reps for some different things, we then did a paper vote. The results were as follows... McCain-1, Paul-3, Huckabee-7, and Romney-17. So since Romney won in our precinct, that means he got 1 delagate vote. Too bad that he just announced the suspention of his campaign today...does that mean our precincts delagate vote means nothing now?
Regardless of what happens next, it was pretty cool, and kind of fun even to be a part of something like this. I think this could quite possibly be a turning point in my life. In the future I think I may participate in even more political type stuff. If anyone reading this wants to give me a better idea of what that might be, that would be appreciated! Isn't it great that we live in a free country where we can have an influence on how it's run, and who runs it? America really is beautiful!

You're cute. And I think Romney's delegates will move to one of the people remaining. I just don't know how they decide which person. Yours and Dad's pricincts were a lot smaller than mine. There were 79 people in mine.
Wouldn't the delegate go to the candidate with the next highest votes? I don't know much about these things, but that would make sense to me. I think this election as insane as it has been, has been really good for voters. I have yet to meet anyone who isn't concerned about it and that's what we need. now if people can just get educated on the issues, we'd be set!
I found out that Romney keeps his delegate votes until he decides who he's giving his support to. At that time his collected votes will go to whomever he chooses.
Yay for all of us going to our very first Caucus this year!
