Subject: RE: BS: Clinton/Obama too close, McCain surging
Well, I went to our caucus undecided and wound up voting for Obama. I asked the other why they chose him. They were women and men, of a broad age range, Hispanic, Indian, white, and black. To a one, they said they were voting for change they think Obama is capable of bringing about, that they did not want the "baggage" or "status quo" which would come with Mrs. Clinton. They said much more than that, but that was the main gist. I also was interested to see some Independents who were there to listen in and see what they could do to help. The turnout was outstanding; we had standing room only, until they opened a couple of more classrooms with more seats.
