47. Yep. But considering I was born and raised in Texas, it was just like returning home.
There were some very stressed out precinct captains who needed a :hug: and some folk to help pick up the canvassing slack.

We spent most of the time calling up people from DNC procured lists to recruit as precinct captains/potential elected chairs. I had some great conversations with a couple of the people I called. It got funny after a while responding to democrats asking "but if you're for Obama, are you sure you want ME?" LOL. Bottom line is that we need people and FAIR ones at that. I found seven (four were Edwards supporters) who agreed to register for and attend the training session.

I have to say, I was very disappointed in some of the shenanigans perpetuated by the opposing camp. I don't know if they are trying to get caucus tallies overturned or what, but there is something that is, quite frankly, undemocratic with respect to some of the advice and rhetoric I heard from some of their supporters. A precinct chair is an ELECTED official. You can't just walk in and make yourself a precinct chair because Hillary says so.
