52. No, the caucuses were only fun for Obama people
and attracted less than half the turnout of the beauty contest primary a week later. I know I keep re-hashing this, but the two hours I spent at the caucus were completely miserable. I heard similar stories from other Hillary supporters. Pnwmom told a story of a Hillary supporter getting shouted down and booed by young men supporting Obama. That practically happened at ours. We really need to go to a primary (as the voters tried to do, but the parties shut down). I was with my boyfriend, who supported Obama, and he also felt that it was fun, but I think if you have people who leave feeling really bad about the experience, it's not fun, and as to engaging, well, it became impossible to speak on behalf of Hillary at our caucus.
