The caucus that I attended in Maple Leaf was a bit lame. I have mixed feelings about it because it is another reflection of our system, which does not represent a true democracy. The caucus, like the general election, is about voting for delegates (or electoral college delegates in the case of the latter) instead of actually having your true vote count as a final say.
This said, I voted for Clinton and she was the overwhelming minority at about one third of the vote to Obama in my precinct. I don't care that much because a politician is a politician and I will be shocked if the democrats ever grow some balls, but we will see what happens.
Of course, Obama will have to beat McCain, and after two unreal victories by George W. Bush, the republicans can manage to win or rig any election.
