Now that I know the process, I might seriously consider doing it again in the future. It was more of a dry run than anything else.

Not sure I understand why. I voted the year I turned 19, a non-presidential year, but my first chance. My son turns 18 in February and says he won't vote. Hopefully he'll change his mind before November. Most of the studies I’ve seen says that the under 30 crowd (especially under 25 crowd) simply doesn’t vote. Not sure I understand why.

Ohio has a primary election to choose the candidate, the caucus just decides each candidates delegates to the Democratic National Convention should the candidate have enough support in the primary to get delegates. This caucus was also just for Democrats. Republicans have their own process that I don't know much about. As for the crowds, I was only able to see the Edwards and Obama group. Everyone was together in an auditorium for the opening and then as their candidate was called people were escorted to the room that the candidate's caucus was in. Obama was called second so I was only able to see the Edwards group. I do know that Hillary's caucus was held in the auditorium, so I assume she had the largest crowd (as it was the largest room). As for the age disparity, it wasn't limited to Obama. There was only a few people under 30 there in all, and of them I was probably the youngest participant. It was a different type of caucus.

How many in the Obama crowd? Your comment that there were only 2 under 50 in Obama's crowd surprises me. All the MSM says is that he's most effective in the younger crowd. What about the Clinton crowd? Also curious about Thompson's crowd. I missed him the other night on Law&Order. Another curiosity, I thought that with Caucuses, the largest crowd won. Yet you said Obama won, but Edwards had the largest crowd? Was that just at your precinct? P.S. Unless you missed it, I announced yesterday. More news to come. Not today, I have to render to Caesar today. Maybe over the weekend, if this global warming continues and I can't get outside. How many people were there? How many in the Obama crowd?
