Hurrah for Iowa caucus!

Ok. Here is my two cents worth of political talk. Anyone who watches the news knows Iowa has been front and center for the presidential run lately. We have little that puts us on the map so I am excited about this one claim to fame that we have. I got to participate in my first caucus last night. Jerry had been to one before but someone had to stay home with the kids, plus I wasn't as interested in the past. So...we get to our voting place, a local middle school, and the place is PACKED! No parking and Republicans shoulder to shoulder. First I must tell you that Iowa is predominately a Democratic state and Dubuque is VERY Democratic. We had over 1,000 Republicans just at our voting site and there were two other Republican voting places in town. Every seat in the auditorium was filled and people were lined up along the walls. I was excited! I was glad to see people taking an interest in the system and having a say. I am also glad its over as the constant phone calls(sometimes up to 10 a day) were getting on my last nerve.
