I tried dammit...I really really tried.

There were 4 of us for Biden. The rest of the room was all Obama, Hillary and Edwards. Plenty of Richardson folks too. No uncommitted. The other two realigned immediatly for Richardson (including Joe's precinct captain.) My husband and I went Obama to keep Edwards from getting the win. FUCK!

2. Thanks for all you did!!!

It is so devastating.

Why did the precinct captain go to Richardson?
The same thing happened on C-Span. They were showing some precinct, and the Biden people were the worst.
One left right away to go to Edwards. They started out with like 25, and ended up with 10.

I am in shock.

4. I was pissed...she went IMMEDIATELY and didn't try to make an argument for him...

my husband and I were trying to coax everyone we could and ultimately ended up aligning with OBAMA just to keep Edwards from claiming victory. The one person that was there for Gravel went to Obama too.

I'm so disappointed by my fellow Iowans. They bought the hype. They just fucking bought it and we all lose.

14. They liked Richardson because he was more "homestyle".

That was the word they used...I swear to god...Homestyle...like a fucking biscuit or something.

16. "Homestyle." OK.....

Makes me think they've never really read anything about him (Kissinger and Associates usually doesn't hire "Homestyle" people), but, *whatever.*

Thanks, again, for your efforts, Youthere!

I'm sorry...I'm pissed and I'm lashing out at poor old muffiny Bill Richardson.

15. We were going to hold firm for Biden, and it looked like the ONE guy that was there...

for Gravel was going Edwards. I looked at my husband in a panic and we both raised our hands to realign for Obama. Then the Gravel dude went Obama too.
