The volunteers did such a great job getting people out to vote and caucus that although the voting officially ended at 7:00 it took what seemed like forever to get through the line of people and start the caucus. Understandably, the crowd was getting a bit cranky having to wait around for so long. Fortunately, we had boxes of donuts and bottles of water left over from that morning and I sent Frank's son to buy snacks which we passed out to the crowd. You'll notice some seemingly happy people now that they had something to eat...and it didn't hurt that I was shouting "Austin Rocks"!
Finally, rules have been stated and the real fun begins...the crowd gets in line to sign up for their candidate. Obama on the right, Clinton on the left.
This is what a line of 197 people looks like
It's about 10:00ish and finally the crowd has thinned!! We end the night with (I believe) 17 delegates for Obama and 13 for Clinton
For the few that stayed, we spilt in groups for Obama (above) and Clinton to pick delegates to go to the county convention
