God bless America

(Amarillo) Just returned from the caucuses for Precincts 125 and 126 at Bivins Elementary, and what an experience. Four years ago, I attended the same caucus. I was the only one there, and halfheartedly elected myself a Kerry delegate to the county convention. Over 150 caucused tonight. Tonight was an exercise in participatory democracy, in political bullying, in pranksterish mischief, in can’t-say-no volunteerism, in organizational chaos, in recently uncloseted Out-and-Proudism, in Being Sober Liberally, in bureaucratic confusion, in beancounting between the lines, in coinflipping, in predetermined conclusions, in surprise endings, but-- most of all-- in kicking Republican ass.

And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.
