Reply #15: Yes, that can happen [View All]

I've talked with friends from other precincts where they were able to pull that off -- garner support from other groups to allow their candidate to receive a delegate or two. (Most of my friends are Edwards or Kucinich supporters.)


In our case, our numbers were much too small and that would've required 10 or 11 people to switch to our group. Considering that the Clinton and Obama groups' numbers were so close -- each had about 60 or 65 -- none of them were interesting in giving up any people. These two groups dominated the caucus with their numbers.

I was very surprised that Edwards didn't have more support -- considering that I live in a pretty working class neighborhood - lots of union workers here.

In all honesty, I almost didn't cast a preference ballot yesterday. In that case, I was encouraged by peer pressure not to abstain from the process. I literally made up my mind in the last 30 seconds and was the very last in the room to make my decision.
