I helped at a Kansas Caucus site and the site normally has about 250 voters, we had over 2000 turn up at our site in the freezing rain. I helped several people fill out change of party paperwork but I have to share this conversation I had with the spunkiest old gal I have meet in ages. Me: Can I help you? SOG(spunky old gal): I can't read my drivers lic. number for this form. Me: I'd be glad to help, are you changing parties tonight? SOG: You bet your bottom! ME: Well, now you are going to have to tell me the story! SOG: My husband was a Republican, so I was a Republican. He passed away last year and I have been "paying attention". My daughter is a teacher and they have ruined education with No Child Left Behind. My grandson is in the Military, and we have become the Bully's and I don't like that. She pauses, "My husband was a bully". She winked at me and said, "I don't miss him" and I sure as heck won't miss George W. Then she laughed like she was Mrs. Claus!!!</blockquote> Jodie – I found it – this is a fantastic caucus-goer’s story:
