8. I think the turnout will be smaller...but maybe more than 2006?
I'll check in on that after. 2008 was ridiculous - parking was a nightmare. By the time I got in, the "want to be a delegate" list was too long, and they were asking people to volunteer to remove their names. A lot of people came in, voted for Obama, signed up on the delegate list, then left.

Thanks for the responses. I still don't know who I'm supporting (like dflprincess, I know who I'm NOT supporting). Lydia, I know what you're saying...I think many were pressured to vote for Kerry, or it wouldn't count. The guy collecting people's votes at my 2008 caucus would say "Good choice" to everyone who voted for Obama. I heard him say as he pointed out paper and pens, "Write 'Obama' or 'Clinton' on this piece of paper" a few times! Like those 2 were the only choices.
