What's everyone doing for Bernie this weekend?

I am volunteering at Funk the Vote fundraiser at local restaurant/bar in Humboldt.

Goal to register a bunch of college kids. I go on campus every week but we added this because owner loves Bernie and all profits tonight go to him.

So lots of Funk bands playing tonight, fun way to volunteer.

It takes all of us doing what we can. If they are spending our money on those ads i say great job! Love the ads.

Whoever's in charge of that strategy deserves a pay boost.

Go Bernie.

... the kid. Said she ran into a lot of very eager supporters, and even some Republicans who were switching their affiliations at the door to caucus. This is going to be a tight one!

I am concerned that the venue the selected for our precinct (Des Moines 42) is too small. It was a common theme with people she ran into as well, and many said that if it looked too crowded they would not caucus.

I made a post on Facebook about this, but not much the party can do about it at this point.

Keep in mind, most people who actually caucus are hardcore. No matter what age they are. Iowans are pretty rugged when it comes to weather.

In 2008 it was single digits (no snow though) and the place was full of senior caucus goers.
