My caucus in Red Wing MN....Bernie won 343-259!!!!!!

[Punkingal]

This was my first time to caucus and there was a HUGE crowd. It was difficult for everyone to get in the room...it was in a cafeteria in a middle school. Everyone was saying the turnout was unprecedented...much larger than 2008.

Unlike some other caucus states you do get a small piece of paper with the candidates listed and you mark your choice and put it in an envelope.

It was somewhat chaotic, but I didn't get the feeling that anyone left or didn't get to vote.

1. And to think your area

is down right Conservative.

[Punkingal]

3. i know! Biggest turn-out ever they said!

8. I think a lot of precincts experienced the same thing

Lots of stories about running out of ballots, having to borrow sheets of notebook paper from kids to check people in, etc.

Still better than the way they run things in Iowa (of course)

10. In the beginning at ours they said they had a copy machine and would not run out of ballots.

They seemed to be prepared.

12. Maybe you Guys can flip your District .

Sounds like the Young folks got involved much like 1962 and really are shaking up the neighborhood.

13. I don't know...there were youngsters there tonight, but really all ages well represented.

I've only been here 2 years, so I just don't know much except I think things are pretty conservative.

15. You have a open seat and a real

opportunity to flip it DFL.

[Punkingal]

16. That's great...I will check it out!

[Wellstone ruled]

17. With all of Red Wing area population

shifts in the last couple years,and the way the Rethugs gerrymandered your District,you have a real opportunity to turn it Blue.

4. unfortuly clinton ahead so far

57% to 42% In MN.

[Punkingal]

6. Small percentage reported yet.

[Robbins]

7. it's just most of time

when she is ahead she stays ahead although ok seems to be exception to this.

[MNBrewer]

9. 0.83% reporting and the spread is 16 votes

Sanders erased those 16 in my precinct alone, and mine wasn't as heavily Sanders as some down in South Minneapolis. Don't give up yet!
