[Mpls] precinct caucus tally

[Tracy]

List,

In Ward 10, Precinct 3 at the DFL caucus we had 147 attendees.  In the 
years I have been in the ECCO neighborhood, I have never seen more than 
40 people at a caucus event.  The overwhelming thing was, it wasn't 
just the grey-haired "old guard" of the Democratic party who showed up 
to participate (who have been the other 39 people in the room when I 
have attended).  We had scores of YOUNG people there, and I overheard a 
number of people state that they were renters in the neighborhood 
(Uptown) and that this was their first foray into the political 
process.  A number of my neighbors brought their teens and pre-teens 
(some their very little children) and lots of the youngish set eagerly 
asked questions about process and spoke passionately about their 
candidate of choice.

I am completely energized by the turnout and the enthusiasm.  I have 
great hope for the new zest for Democracy, and win or lose, I feel that 
our country's political process has scored a major victory.

Hooray!
