Let’s talk about caucus, baby, let’s talk about you and me.
So, I wrote a story about the caucus, and took photos, and because I’m self-involved, I copied a link to a few selects below.

I wasn’t surprised by the turnouts, to be honest. And, let’s face it, more people turned out for the democratic primary four years ago, than turned out to caucus this go around. But still, getting a whole corral of liberals in a tiny gymnasium at 10 in the morning is just more fun.
It seems like the caucus was a hit, and everyone talked to was pleased. I’m just hoping that the energy generated at the caucus sites continues down the road in Novemeber and people actually get out and vote. More importantly, I’m hoping this will keep going four years from now, and the caucus sites will be twice as packed.
But the caucus isn’t the only thing I was covering last week. Chelsea Clinton, along with Barack Obama made stops in out great state. That’s great for us. Nebraska was Clinton’s last state to ever visit, much less during election season. It gave us some faith that Nebraska really matters.
