Ardie and I went to our first Democratic Precinct Caucus last night.  Eight precincts met at a middle school.  I’m told it was a huge turnout.  The school lunchroom/auditorium was packed. We met some really friendly neighbors.  A number of young families participated.   Our straw poll reflected Colorado in general.  Sanders won substantially. However, the weird formulas meant that our two delegates were split between Clinton and Sanders with the alternate going to Sanders. Our precinct delegates will go on to the Douglas County gathering.  It was a fun energizing experience participating in democracy at a very basic local level.  My thoughts dwelt briefly  upon Republican friends as their party disintegrates.  I am glad that we have two excellent candidates.
