But the third line starts as "Hope you ask first-saw Joe and Helen Findley-they are"...and that's where the decoding ends for me. The only other thing I can make out is the person sent to is Mrs. Florence Rogers 8 North St Johns Road, Sharemont Town, Penn. Well, the first two lines completely evade me.

Our caucus was, literally, in the kitchen of the Community Center. It was an interesting experience, and it really makes you feel like your vote counts. Obamamania was alive and well in Montlake on Saturday.

Anyway...back to local history ;) Interesting…in our precinct, at least six of the ‘undecideds’ (including me) changed their vote, and a few Clinton and Obama supporters did as well.

The potential bullying, groupthink, being represented by one speaker who you don't know is competent, etc. Though I have to admit, the horse trading was fun. But I guessed no one would change their vote, and sure enough, no one did. It was probably the only time our whole block has been together, which was cool.

Actually, a few more words: THOROUGHLY out of control, disorganized, and chaotic. I wonder how the Republicans did over at Roosevelt High? There were some good things about it, but honestly: give me a primary (that counts) any day.. One word: Obamamania.
