Reply #17: I'm certain that any nightmare scenario you want to dream up

[Debi]

could be considered.

I can only relate to you what my experiences have been and what experiences have be relayed to me.

And since I have never been intimidated with regard to my preference of candidate or retaliated against for supporting a specific candidate (nor have I done so against another person) I can't talk to it happening.

Why presume it would?

I will relate, again, what occurred with setting up the caucus site for my precinct. When the main supporters of the Kerry/Dean/Edwards campaign arrived we agreed on where (equally) we would place our campaign literature and posters (Gephart/Kucinich/Clark supporters did not bring any lit or posters). The Kerry supporter (noting that I was the Dean supporter - this information being provided by our County Party) called to see what I was bringing so that she wouldn't duplicate treats - we brought cake, cookies and muffins. We had hot coffee, tea and cider as well as bottled water to drink. When the main Edwards supporter showed up we all worked together to get people signed in As to the appropriate spot (we had two precincts caucusing in the same building)in fact she had more people signing in to her precinct (35 to my 22) so I went to help her sign people in. Once everyone got to where they needed to be we separated and completed the Presidential preferences. My precinct caucus concluded prior to the main Kerry supporter so we stayed and waited for them to finish before we socialized for a while and all pitched in to clean up the building. Then we went to our separate headquarters to celebrate. (Oh, we also delivered the Kerry info to the Kerry HQ since it was in the same building as the Dean party - and the Kerry supporter trusted us to do so).
