In CD5, there are 11 Clinton delegate candidates; 25 Obama delegate candidates.

A list of all delegate candidates can be found here.

While coffee and water will be provided, and box lunches will be available for purchase, the ADP recommends that caucus-goers bring drinks and snacks, as the caucuses may take several hours.


Note: I've decided to caucus for the Obama delegates. I'll be voting for uber-volunteer (and LD17 PC and vice-chair) Lauren Kuby.

With her activist resume starting with volunteering for the McGovern campaign in '72 and continuing through her dedication to the Obama campaign, she epitomizes the grassroots heart of the Democratic Party.

In addition to her work as vice-chair of the LD17 Dems, including serving as both the Communications and Fundraising chairs, she organized for Obama in AZ even before he had an AZ campaign. She's both opened her home to out-of-state volunteers and volunteer to travel to other states for the campaign (IA, NV, TX) herself.

If there is anyone is the state that can be said to have *earned* a trip to the national convention in Denver, it's Lauren Kuby.

As for my other choices, I've got no bleepin' clue. :)

There are a number of other wholly deserving candidates; I'm going to have to wait until their 3 minute presentations tomorrow to decide.

Later!
