Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumMy caucus in Red Wing MN....Bernie won 343-259!!!!!!
This was my first time to caucus and there was a HUGE crowd. It was difficult for everyone to get in the room...it was in a cafeteria in a middle school. Everyone was saying the turnout was unprecedented...much larger than 2008.
Unlike some other caucus states you do get a small piece of paper with the candidates listed and you mark your choice and put it in an envelope.
It was somewhat chaotic, but I didn't get the feeling that anyone left or didn't get to vote.

(8,462 posts)Sanders erased those 16 in my precinct alone, and mine wasn't as heavily Sanders as some down in South Minneapolis. Don't give up yet!
