A TALE OF TWO CAUCUSES

 The caucus system is not a perfect system but it got the job done. Not with secret ballots like the Iowa GOP, but a stand-up-and-be-counted ballot. Having said that, the Caucus tonight was very engaging and exciting.  I am proud of this state and proud to be first in the nation.
Last night we caucused just down the road in Springbrook.  We had just over 30 folks/neighbors show up form our township and the adjoining township, which meant two delegates.  It only took us a bout an hour to do the horse trading and it ended up with Bernie and Hillery each getting one.

 In Maquoketa they used the science room for the caucus center.
The final results of the 16th Precinct Jackson County: Hillary 45 (two delegates to the State Convention); Bernie 22 (one delegate); O'Malley 13 (one delegate).
