   The caucus for our precinct in Austin went about the same way as yours, 23 for Obama and 11 for Hillary. Amy and I both got elected as delegates, and we’re headed to the Travis County convention on the 29th, which should be interesting :-)

   Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I skedaddled: didn’t want to get sucked into going to the county convention. (I’m a voter, not a representative!)

   For posterity: my tweets from the caucus. Enjoy.

   I would have twittered more from the #caucus, but there was a sweet little boy sitting next to me who became fixated on the iPhone. 09:19 PM March 04, 2008 from twitterrific

   The difference: They had Clinton voters. We did not. 09:07 PM March 04, 2008 from twitterrific

   #caucus Stark difference between my section of the auditorium (pct 20, west 3d ward) and the next one over (pct 32, core Midtown). 09:06 PM March 04, 2008 from twitterrific

   Home from the #caucus. Lesson: politics in a democracy is every bit as confusing, disorganized, and exhausting as people are. 09:02 PM March 04, 2008 from twitterrific

   those are delegates, by the way, not votes. 08:01 PM March 04, 2008 from web

   #caucus They’ve separated the Barack and Hillary lines. The latter is definitely the place to be if you want to leave early. 07:47 PM March 04, 2008 from web

   #caucus This is going to take a while. HCG auditorium about half full but crushing to sign in at the front. 07:39 PM March 04, 2008 from web

   Precinct being called to order. 15 delegates from this precinct. 07:30 PM March 04, 2008 from web

   #caucus Room is really filling up. This is crazy. Maybe 40 voters still in line. 07:11 PM March 04, 2008 from web
