Son's report of his IA caucus + views of DK, Dean, Kerry, and Edwards

In a university town; nearly 400 showed up.

He stood for Dean; his wife stood for Kucinich. Each of these 2 got 3 delegates from that precinct.

They went home and watched the report of the results. He and co-workers were really upset at Dean's speech. He seems to regret his support of Dean.

Son's reaction to Kerry, Edwards, and Dean speeches after the results...

...Dean wanted to fire up his supporters. But he had ca 10 minutes to get his message out to the nation and he blew it.

...Kerry wasted the 10 minutes thanking everybody in sight.

...Edwards was the only one who used his time wisely - gave his plan and message.

4. I take your remark serious.

So, I looked up the claim and there is no evidence to that affect. I looked back 6 months..... thus the protested claim is misleading.

Secondly, there is a scant reference to the thread posters family, as the post is in bullet form. The story sounds loose.....fictious...it just does....

No one is a mind reader and no intent to be rude was dirtected at the thread poster.

5. Were there any Uni town precincts where Ku and Dean got 3

delegates each?

If you want to discredit this post, that's the first place you should look. Did you?

7. Well, I knew that bobbie's son was excited about caucusing for Dean.

I read it here a couple weeks ago. I have read other posts of hers referencing her family's preferences over the past months. I couldn't have read it if she hadn't posted it.

6. Thanks Bobbieinok

We appreciate hearing this.

This is what this place needs more of. Truthful observations and less cheer-leading rah-rah propaganda.

We'll be marching to our graves with that rah-rah shit. Hope enough people start weighing in just the way you did so we can honestly follow what's taking place.
